Quotes of the month
-------------------
I'm a newbie to Leo (a couple of weeks) and I feel addicted to
programming again...in fact it has resurrected a dead project of mine
The outline has proven most liberating in terms of testing ideas out.
Thanks a lot! -- anon
"Wow, wow, and wow. I just started using Leo about a month ago..Now I
finally understand how to use clones and I realized that this is
exactly how I want to organize my information. Multiple views on my
data, fully interlinkable just like my thoughts...Thanks for a great
tool! -- anon
"I *LIKE* it; I was amazed at how [different the Leo] experience was
compared to flat-filing. It was almost Forth-like in the way that it
was possible to work top-down or bottom-up at will (I believe this is
the key to its strength, btw)." --Tarvin Rhodes
