You get commited (all your data is now in EN)/hooked and then sooner or later your PC goes belly up, or maybe you just get a new computer - and then - to get the same functionality - you will have to buy EN. Or a bit like handing out free (insert your addictive drug of choice). How it OVERWRITES existing EN databases without asking, and jams up if you deny it that pleasure.īut most of all review #149 - this is what this is all about. Just look at how many people have had problems installing EN. Then something went wrong (take over? new shark in the fish-tank?). This is my third one - and I wonder whether evidence will mount for enemy action.Įarly (pre v2) versions of EN are brilliant. My first post 'got lost', but appeared on a retry. TreeDbNotes (like Evernote, free version is strong)Ĭodelib Net, NoteLens are other notable mentions above.Īnd EasyNoter Lite was interesting, with more of a PIM-sense.Īs Goldfinger said, the first time is happenstance, the second coincidence, and the third enemy action.

Keynote (excellent, but no new development expected) Synchronization features are nice to have.Īs for the regular freeware alternatives, some leaders seem to be: (Many find this a dealbreaker, others don't care at all.) Otherwise I gather their free version is far better than the crippleware of many packages. One problem mentioned elsewhere on the normal free versions of Evernote is a double-nag screen, instituted recently. Maybe you can rerun this in a month or two, or a week or two, with a better installer. The fact that I do not have a personal registration number does not inspire confidence. However the complications in registration were tricky, even now it was very hard to tell whether an install was giving me a trial version or the full version. (Although I may look for discount buy mechanisms). So what ? If I happily have used a program for a year, and it has proven itself day in and day out, I will be happy to, at that point, become a registered user.

Or more likely when you buy a new computer, or when there is a significant upgrade. Sure, eventually you and your friends who happily use a product may eventually buy it.
