Oh that's awesome. I started that book like a year ago and half way through was at the same point as you...I wanted to implement it digitally. I tried Backpack I think but it didn't really work out (I didn't find any of the other software you found ), so I started writing my own software. But of course, I needed to learn ajax for that, since it would have to be an online thing to be useful for me. Needless to say, I stopped getting much else done at that point and that's pretty well what he says not to do in the book .*sigh*. So I decided to stop that craziness.
I use Google Notebook for it for now. I just have a notebook called 'Brain Crack' with sections for Inbox, Reference, waiting, etc. (watch http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/07/071106.html to see why I called it Brain Crack). Not as nice as having it synced with my Google calendar though. Still, every little while I start writing a 'goddamn login page myself' for my perfect GTD app...
Glad to see though that someone has the same thoughts as me! Now, I just have to actually finish the book :). Sadly, I still haven't finished it, but I do like and use a lot of the tips I got from the first part of the book.
I've been down the same path
