I'm going to have to start making better use of it if I'm going to use it more. I am also a tadalist subscriber and I do use that every day though.

I deeply appreciate what they are doing and how. For now it's passive support. I have not ignored their software even though I currently use mainly Google applications. I could very well choose both.

And your reason for using Google (your friends use it too) is a pretty good one. I know I get a bit too sentimental but to me Google represents a big corporation whereas 37 Signals is a small and friendly group of people passionate about creating software. I can pretty much name every employee of 37 Signals, which feels good to me when choosing whom I want to give my money to. But yeah, I'm sure Google has great tools too, and don't want to force anyone to switch to Backpack just because I say so. You are a Google fan-boy and I'm a 37 Signals fan-boy. And I think that's great! Yeah, I’m sure there are other tools that you can use to do the same things I do on Backpack – Google’s tools are a good example.

I know, I'm a Google fanboy, but I prefer GDocs over Backpack because most of my friends are Google users. In fact, I don't know any other Backpacker than you. Sharing documents (and tagging them) is the main reason I use online documentation systems, so it's easier to use a web application that is widely spread. Though I'm currently not too much into Backpack, I should try it again and re-judge it. Google has a special tool for notetaking - Google Notebook. It could be useful for you while jumping between OS's. It installs straight to Firefox and can be opened with a single click. You might be aware of this, but it doesn't hurt to mention it.
