Treepad

Original post 3/5/05,updated 4/11/05, 4/30/05, 5/30/05

This product has many possibilities, and appears to work excellently.

Basically, it is a database program that, well, does a lot more.

TreePad Lite is free, at least for most purposes. It will give you a feel for some of TreePad's capabilities, and perhaps be all you need, presuming you like and use it.

The TreePad line of products Includes, but possibly is not limited to:
TreePad Lite, TreePad PLUS, TreePad SAFE, TreePad Business Edition, TreePad X Enterprise, ( at least two variations of this )

Essentially they all are the same program, each variation having some, BUT NOT ALL of the capabilities of the other versions.

In the main, it is a good product, and I would recommend checking out it's many possibilities. However, it has one vexing aspect, at least for me that I want to show you before you waste money not purchasing what you really want.

Generally, a shareware upgrade gets one all the capability of the "lesser" version, and adds more to that. TreePad DOES NOT work that way. Example:
One would think that paying for an "upgrade" from TreePad SAFE which proportedly contains encryption capability to one of the "better" TreePad X Enterprise variations would mean that the TreePad X Enterprise edition would likewise also have as good or better encryption capability. It has NO encryption capability.

Still, even with the above, I do indeed like and use Treepad. I currently am using the shareware version business edition. I'm not fully happy with it, but it is as close as I seem to be able to get to having the combination of capabilities I want from TreePad. If it were not for the aforementioned problem, I would FULLY endorse TreePad. But as it stands, I can only say it is a good product.

Google advanced search

If you are just off the internet banana boat and have no clue:

Google is likely the best general purpose search engine I know. I cannot recall a time when it failed to return more results than the likes of WebCrawler, AltaVista, AskJeeves, DogPile, etc..

My friend Lisa calls it liberal. I just think she makes a good deal of sense.
