A Note to readers

Over the past few weeks, I have been using a nice tool called Mammoth. I have really found it useful for curating things that matter to me. Some reviews I have read call it serious competition for Evernote. I have never gotten on to using Evernote, but somehow I find myself returning to Mammoth every day to keep track of ‘my stuff’. To me that says something as I am highly critical and quickly cast aside software which has no use to me. While I do admit that with any new tool there are always some growing pains, their whole approach to support is stellar. Thank you to Simon Griffiths for introducing me to this excellent tool. Thank you Mammoth for changing how we do things together.
