Excellent insights, Zenrain.  Your posts are always insightful.

I am really debating whether to put everything in one folder as you have or to put things in separate folders.  Having all files internally in PB is not an option as I share files with my wife and I need them accessible when I travel.  A combination of Dropbox and LiveMesh is what I have been using to sync our files to each other's computer. 

My wife wouldn't have an easy time finding things on PB nor in a one folder system unless I can embed tags as you have in my various files (PDF, doc, excel, journal, mmp, etc...)  and search for it.  We are getting Windows 7 in a couple of weeks and as far as I understand is that one can tag all Microsoft files and jpeg but nothing else (PDF, mmp etc..).  Having our various files in separate folders according to categories is great for my wife and organizing the links via PB would work for me ...but when files are moved periodically and folder names get changed of course  our poor PB would get confused and lose the link. 

Any suggestions about this situation?
