What is Personal Knowbase?

  Can't find that critical piece of information when you need it?
  Personal Knowbase is an information organizer.  Store and index your
  textual information using keywords that you choose.  Get rid of all
  those bits of paper and little disk files that you can never find.
  
  Software that provides only string searches isn't enough.  Even a
  complete text search won't locate that great quote you had about the
  IRS with a search on "tax".  Using keywords, you can access all
  related notes easily.
  
  Software that categorizes your notes each into a single category isn't
  enough.  Does a note on books about national parks go under the Books
  category or the National Parks category?  The answer is both!  Using
  keywords, you can file that note under as many keywords as you need.
  
  Collect information you find in magazines, on the Web, and in
  conversation.  Gather meeting notes, book reviews, e-mail messages,
  and other information resources. Information is power, but it's
  useless if you can't access it.  Find that critical information when
  you need it!
