Starting over after a hard drive failure

Last week my hard drive failed and the back-up program did not save my GTD work. I had been using Entourage, but before I began to rebuild my GTD world, I began looking at all of the options that are available, e.g. iGTD, Outlook with plugin, Omni, Things, etc. I run a small law office. I set each client as a project and use GTD to help provide guidance to my staff to keep each client's case on track. If you had to start over, which program would you use?

Now it's out of beta, OmniFocus, no question. Instant capture (two different ways), great support, sensible multiperson company behind it, Ethan Schoonover and Merlin both involved in the development - good though the others are, how can they compete with the above pedigree?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

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