Thanks, I hadn't noticed that.

I have a "wishlist" I keep in OO which is a list of everything I need to purchase in the near future or would like to purchase at some point. Looking at this list every time I get the urge to make an impulse buy usually stops me cold (thank you Merlin Mann). Sounds similar to your purchase lists, but keeping them both in one gargantuan list makes the prospect of buying anything less attractive to me.
My problem is that I work in 2 different locations on 2 separate computers. I then have my personal computer so I have 3 different GTD OmniOutliner files. If I keep my lists separate, that's a lot of documents I have to carry with me as I like to be able to review my documents from any location that I'm currently at.

Would you mind expanding on the cross-referencing part? It sounds interesting. I completely understand about feature bloat. I don't want to see it have too many things added to it. I want to keep everything as simple as possible for my different locations.
