''The ~TiddlyWiki is the best software I've ever found for organising my ideas.''

It's well worth spending an hour or so playing with it to see how it can help you. This will be time well-spent and will change how you think and how you organise your ideas.

''~TiddlyWiki gets a Gearhead rating of 6 out of 5 (it's that good).''
