Free (or at least way cheaper) DEVONThink alternative?

I rather like the idea of having a program to manage all my digital crap, since I suck at doing it myself. DEVONThink looks nice, but I just don't have that kind of money. I've been using Journler 2.0, but it's a bit clunky, particularly in how it does entries with tables. Yeek.

Any recomendations?

I only have one database but I'm no super power user either. Emory, who uses it probably a lot more than I do, could weigh in here with a better opinion.

I could see how having multiple databases vice one large catchall might aid you if you're dropping lots and lots of information in there.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
