Advance Notice: UltraRecall at big discount on Wednesday

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

UltraRecall has for quite a long time been one of the major information management software programs. It has always been one of the favorites among the knowledgeable crowd over at the Outliner Software Forum [one of my favorite sources of information, by the way]. On Wednesday it will be available from Bits du Jour for $19,00, a whopping 62-percent discount from its usual price of $49.00. If you have mountains of data and documents to track, I suggest that you download the program right now so that you can give it a trial for a couple of days before payment is due on Wednesday.

When you get to the Bits du Jour discount page, I also suggest you scroll down to the bottom and read the comments, both new and old. Disregard the discussion about future support of the program [there's no problem there, just misunderstanding], and read instead the praises heaped on this program by long-time users for some insight into its power.

I have it on my computer, but I confess that I use WhizFolders Pro, KeyNote and AskSAM instead, not because it’s particularly superior, but because I acquired those first and already have lots of information stored there. All of these programs are excellent. For full discussion about them, you’ll find lots of posts at the Outliner Software Forum, where the fine details and differences between these programs are vigorously debated.

Be aware that the PRO version of UltraRecall is also available for the same 62 percent discount from its usual price of $99.00. The UltraRecall homepage offers a comparative chart so that you can easily see the differences. The standard version will be just fine for most writers, but power computer users may wish to take advantage of the PRO discount [I'm thinking about that myself].

By all means, take a look at the demo flash videos, which cover four topics:

Introduction
Reminders
Journaling
Getting Things Done [I'm impressed!!!]

One of the interesting strengths of the program is the ability to import from quite a number of other information database programs. That makes backup easier, as one has to deal with only one database file, rather than several scattered around the computer.
