The hype surrounding the paperless office has even spread as far as MIT Press on that there Internet. Others, though, are more optimistic about banishing pesky paper: DEVONtechnologies has updated two flavors of DEVONthink Pro so you can find electronic homes for all those dead-tree bits you might otherwise print during your day.

As someone whose cubicle walls are lined with paper, I’ve been using the plain-Jane version of DEVONthink for a few months now, to plan work-related things: Important Meetings, Vital Documents, and General Miscellaneous Items to name a few. Seeing a typical day’s tasks compressed into a few color-coded folders helps make my work more manageable but I wouldn’t go so far as to call DEVONthink my “second brain” if only because I just like having a hard copy for better editing. And my original brain’s very sensitive about being upstaged.
