Converted from a PC to Mac- can no longer use GTD Outlook Add-In. What to do?!?!
- Thread starter webmktco

Omnifocus
I did exactly the same a couple of months ago, though I still use PC at work: switch to Omnifocus. I loved Netcentric's addon, but I must say: I don't miss it. Omnifocus exceeds all my expectations.
And with it installed on my iPad, iPhone, and syncing everything using spootnik (www.spootnik.net), I got a solution Netcentrics never could offer: access to my GTD system from all my devices.
At work? I use TeamViewer against my iMac at home, and voila! - access to Omnifocus even from my PC at work.

You could run parallels on your mac, install windows, and go from there.
Alternatively, look at Omnifocus for a robust GTD tool with decent integration with Mail.app.
Things will do that too, and either is a reasonable choice if you are just using a single machine.
With multiple machines, a smartphone and a tablet, the issues are more complex.
I use multiple macs, an iPhone and an iPad, and life is pretty good with Omnifocus.

I was trying to be nice to someone who was missing his Windows software
, but yes.Actually, I did an experiment with inexpensive, high tannin red wines a long time ago.
I opened a magnum, and rebottled half in a regular size bottle. I found that if you give them several
more years in the bottle than they usually get, they often become fairly nice.
So putting Windows on a mac is not nearly as good as filling an empty expensive bottle with cheap wine!
I think the "install windows on the mac"-suggestion is good and use it a lot. (the suggestion, not windows on my mac). After a while, when people find they start windows more seldom or perhaps not at all, they tend to delete it from the mac.
If you would start using OmniFocus I believe you will find yourself comfortable with it, but if you don't, you can always keep working with the windows installation and the plugin.
Good luck!

Windows in a cellar?
Maybe installing Windows on a Mac and leaving it untouched in a cellar for several years will make it better too?
