I can't unzip either the file from here or the Aquaminds page. Hmm.

Currently I use NoteTaker mostly for web research and also find it useful for project and training notes. For the work that I do I find that its ability to create clipping services for copying and pasting selections into various notebooks (and pages within those notebooks) to be the most useful. Other features that I frequently use are its notebook indices, notebook libraries, and highlighting. On occasion I've created some web research notebooks and been able to pass them on to colleagues along with the NoteTaker Reader which has been really nice.
However ....
1) This is one of those applications with such wide-ranging capabilities and possible uses that it demands some sort of user forum. I think Aquaminds is remiss is doing so since smaller companies (at least ones that seem to be smaller) are able to do so.
2) When notebooks become very large NoteTaker becomes abysmally slow. I've tried it on both a dual G5/2GHz and a G4/400MHz. A 53.7MB notebook is very slow when clipping to it on my G5 and a clipping to it on my G4 can be measured in minutes -- if the notebook can be opened at all. A 25MB notebook is sluggish on my G5 and more sluggish on my G4 but still generally workable if I'm patient. My workaround for the speed issue is to make a small clippings notebooks and then transfer them to larger notebooks. (I'm also considering upgrading my copy of StickyBrain as an alternative.) However, this takes away from the convenience of having clippings go directly to where I want them. I could break my notebooks down into smaller ones but then this gives me quite a few more files to search through and reduces the value of indexing to me.
So, my rating of 4 is based on -1.5 for speed and -0.5 for the lack of a user forum which I think this product really needs to help users get the most out of it. I then added 1 back since 3 seemed unfair due to all to the features it has that I have not made use of ... yet.
