I use keynote but am switching to notecase for my writing. I find it
helpful to be able to collect info in different bins. but these tools
are not quiet good enough.
for example, I'm working on a story about rovers and humans on mars
being spirit guides to each other. I need to collect lots of info on
mars missions, create realistic time lines etc.. if a tool can help with
that process or collecting and organizing writing, gimme!
but writing aside, I need NaturallySpeaking or some equivelent. the old
viavoice for linux was the best of the lot and it was a piece of s***.
mebby someday wine will be able to handle the oddball installer used by NS.
