Neil, my first thesis was typed by a typist, my second was done on Wordstar on a Kaypro luggable machine running CP/M and used lots of file cards (which I still find occasionally) my Doctorate was on good old MS Word with the references in EndNote and with sheaf's of notes which form a fall of my garage. So I have been through generations of computer aided research.
I am still an active researcher and although the amount of paper doesn't seem to have gotten any less I do use the combination of TW and EndNote for my research. EndNote is really only used because I already have several databases including one with 3700 references. If I was seriously starting out again I would use Zotero. I have several TW's which I use as a combination of research notes and databases for the various projects I am working on. I use a tweaked version (improving the colour scheme) of Morris Gray's My Notes and am playing around with Dave Gifford's No Brainer notes which has the tree view plugin. Both Morris and Dave are promising "new improved" versions sometime in the New Year. If you search on this forum you will run into them and links to the TW's. I am less interested in the programming side of things and I have found both these implementations of the TW idea useful because I can just get started and do the research. Of course I am working in the archaeology/history/heritage area and if you are writing a disscertation on fractual geometry you my need a different type of TW. yours Iain -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
