Track Changes Dates Reset on Save As in Word 2008
If you regularly use the Save As feature to create new drafts while working in Word 2008, you might notice that with Track Changes enabled, previously time-stamped comments and edits have their times reset to the Save As date and time. Work around this by sticking with your original file, but using Save As (or just File > Duplicate in the Finder) to make backup copies.

Why do you refer to Devonthink as a memory manager? I think of it as a non-hierarchical text storage tool with exceptional search capabilities.
ditto -- that is, as a person who works on both Macs and PCs, a "memory manager" is something that controls the computer's use of RAM.
I have Devon products (several versions) for my Mac, and they are sophisticated information, data and notes management apps. Not "memory" managers.
(Though, these kind of apps help to supplement human recall memory, but really, in no way manage human memory cells. ;(

I think you're reading a lot more into "memory manager" than Lex implied - he was just looking for a quick description of DEVONthink, which is a tough program to sum up. :-)
As Joe Kissell points out in his "Take Control of Getting Started with DEVONthink 2" book, DEVONthink can act as a file and media browser, snippet keeper, note taker, database, Web and RSS reader, and organizational tool. I'll tweak the article...
