The last few posts bring up the issue of what you really need. For my recently concluded search, I had some needs, and some wants:

Needs:

Must securely hold and protect my laptop both in its...

I should also mention the bag that came in second in my search. The Brenthaven Expandable Trek. It's a really good bag, lifetime guarantee, very solid. If I hadn't liked the Brain Bag more, I...

I did a ridiculous amount of research looking for a bag. I have the gift of being able to turn a $20 purchase into a week-long research project, lol. I ended up buying the Tom Bihn Brain Bag, but the...

Was just searching to see if anyone had posted a thread like this. I know it's a bit old but thought I'd chime in.

I am in the process of wrapping up "the great laptop backpack search of 2012". I...

I started using OmniFocus when it was first released. Was somewhat daunted by what I perceived was the complexity and the learning curve of it. Didn't really embrace it and then looked at virtually...

honestly, I hate the concept of creating folder structures on the hard drive. Unless the person is really rigorous in their approach to processing, naming and storing their stuff, that usually breaks...

thanks for the clarification.

Yes, I generally like open source but I don’t view it as an important enough of a criteria that it will drive me to choose an application that I deem deficient...

If you're suggesting that the average user should examine encryption code to assess how secure the application process is, i would represent this is grossly unrealistic for the typical or even power...

nope, I use auto fill.

so far, there are no reported instances of viruses or Trojans on Macs “in the wild”, in the real world. Maybe a couple isolated demonstration issues, but so far there’s...

Can I trust their encryption methodology?

Well, first, I'm not qualified to analyze their code even if it was open source, which it isn’t. This stuff is way above my level of technical expertise. ...

not familiar with that app but if it’s offline and encrypted, then the passwords themselves should be secure.

But the other issue is the use of those passwords. If you are able to then copy and...

no, I'm not worried about it. But that’s because I have a backup strategy I feel good about. If someone doesn’t have that in place, they SHOULD be worried.

First, I make a weekly bootable clone...

Hit List does look like a very well designed app, though.

Question: how does it handle ‘clippings’? For example, you have an email you want to turn into a task and you want that task to reference...

it’s just a personal thing on my part. I don’t trust mission-critical apps to a sole developer. Too many of them, in fact most of them, are gone after a few years. The economics just don’t work. It’s...

Scott....my comment wasn’t directed towards Things. That seems to have a team behind it and had it met my workflow requirements I would’ve had no problem going with it. I think it’ll be around for...

but yeah, that aside, any potential GTD solution for me HAS to have both an iPhone counterpart and it has to be very adept at turning digital inputs (emails, websites, text) into inbox items. Both...

when I hear that an app like this has only a single developer working on it, that’s a problem for me. Here’s what I know about one man shops: eventually, that one man will decide to do something else...

Thanks Pablo, i appreciate you sharing how you do it.

the challenge with your example is that, per classic GTD definitions, you're turning an AOR into a project. "Create Optimum Health" isn't a...

the key is your statement that if you put it in a projects list you fear it will get lost. What I found is a key aspect to making GTD work is the term “trusted sysetm”. If you don’t have one, you...

if you’re on a Mac, there’s only one choice, 1Password. It’s awesome.

If on Windows, someone else will need to make a recommendation.
