- I'm looking for software that supports my personal logbook system. While my
- current system (big lab notebooks) works well for documentation, it's horrible
- for retrieval.
-
- I doodle a lot in my logbooks -- lots of text, but also lots of
- illustrations and equations, and circling text, margin notes, etc. I'd
- like to preserve as much of that kind of freedom as possible, but add
- the capability of *text search* to facilitate retrieval.
-
- The closest I've seen so far to what I want is a good word processor
- with a good draw program. But the cutting and pasting is not seamless
- enough; I can't overlap the draw section with the text section; and I
- can't draw sketches (don't ask me to sketch with a mouse!).
-
- Got one suggestion for MathCad. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks.

- P.S. Is this a good place to post stuff like this?
