Personal Doc/Knowedge Management

OK, I am guessing that this the standard intro question that the
regulars on this group may be tired of asking, but I ask for your
indulgence.

I am looking for a solution that allows me to create (with as little
effort on my aprt as possible) an electronic filing systems that will
allow me to store large amounts of information , in various formats, in
an organized xstore, allowing me to categoriz (automatically if
possible) and search the data.

I (like all of you I am sure" have large e-mail stores, documents
stored all over my HD and shared drives, and websites stored as either
links in either of the preceding types of docs, or as bookmarks. it is
a mess ;-)

I try to save alot unde Outlook files, but that is labor intensive and
limiting.

I think this product http://www.adm21.net/ - may be along the lines of
what I am looking for.

Does this make sense to you guys? Any recomendations? I use primarily
Windoes at work, but Mac at home. It would be great if there was a
system that supported Mac as well (Jave?).

Oh wel, any thoughts, input orr discussion would be GREATLY appreciated
on this.
