Cat,
Congratulations!
I am an avid Mac user, having made the move a few years back from the PC world.

software with paper organization. You just download pdfs of papers to

intense pleasure at starting such an adventure at a time when we hear so much
about the over-production of PhDs, the shrinking funds for research, and the
general malaise in higher education,
Hi Cat,
Congrats!
I'm a big fan of Endnote, there's a bit of a learning curve, but it's a
powerful program.

Hi Eco-lovers,
I have the intense pleasure of starting grad school this fall, and was
wondering if this list-serv could generate any kind of consensus regarding
what a best personal computer might be for me. I converted to the Mac
religion a few years ago, and while I don't feel intractable in my
