A Killer App for Mac?

by admin on April 26, 2008 · 3 comments

If you work on writing projects that involve keeping track of research and shifting outlines around (whether it’s articles, reports, presentations, or whatever), then you should check out Scrivener. If you don’t have a Mac, it will make you want to switch. It may be the most useful little software program ever.

2 Kevin Holland April 28, 2008 at 8:13 pm: Lots of people are saying similar things, Nick. Word processors are totally focused on making TYPING easier, this is the first program that actually makes WRITING easier. (Except for the, uh, writing part. But you get my drift.) And I say this as someone who actually prefers Vista over OSX (thank god for Boot Camp).

  I get a kick out of Lisa's case studies and get the impression she enjoys writing them. I think she should go whole hog and start writing an association soap opera. She could call it something like "Guiding Bylaws" or "One Meeting to Endure." Or "General Consensus."

  Judith Lindenau ostensibly writes specifically about realtor associations, but really she's a must-read for association execs of all stripes. Delightfully straightforward. This is a fantastic post on meaningful evaluation of association programs.
