The whole stickynotes thing
by JaszyPye July 30, 2007 4:41 PM PDT: I had stickynotes a while ago. It was on the front page for new programs on this site. The only reason I downloaded in the first place is because Im sort of a download junkie, I'll try anything once. It wasnt like it did anything much but it did do what it was supposed to do. Ive never really understood Post-its anyway. I figure if you cant remember something small enough to write down on a small square of paper...its not worth remembering. I do guess people who work in offices find them worth buying. I still cant help but to wonder what they write down on them. They have organizers so who knows. Anyway like I said before I started to ramble the program does what it says but thats it. If you want little pieces cluttered all over your desktop to match your computer desk or your dorm room then download away! ~Jelly; Like this Reply to this comment

i got the best one and it came with my computer
by maidensolo July 31, 2007 3:12 AM PDT: It's called Notepad and has been part of windows for, well, as long as I've been using it; and that's been since operating system 95.
I just click on notepad,write down my reminders and then minimize it until iI'm ready to remind myself of my reminders.
Hey we really don't need anything else to remind us again, do we?
I'm thinking about developing some procrastination software. (Or do we have some already that charges an arm and a leg and comes out with a new operating system every 3 years?); Like this Reply to this comment

Sticky Notes
by skiracer712 July 31, 2007 6:57 AM PDT: I have tried many of these programs. They are truely pointless in most regards. For most purposes, the best Sticky-Note is the old fashioned analog version, which comes in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. If you really feel the need to have a digital version though, yahoo widgets (konfabulator) has a few good ones out there that I thought were better than any standalone program. Then again, as mentioned before notepad and wordpad have been around for quite awhile...; Like this Reply to this comment

Always loved the idea but hated the result!
by snharden July 31, 2007 4:44 PM PDT: I too have tried at least a dozen of these types of programs and while they seem a bit interesting they all seem rather pointless. They are usually more trouble than they are worth. Nowadays I simply use Windows notepad and just delete it when I need to. Usually I just jot something down on paper anyway.

These programs always sound neat but usually end up in the recycle bin after awhile.....

These will be of no use to you if you use sidebars
by -Auron- August 2, 2007 12:25 AM PDT: Notepad widgets are available on pretty much all sidebars; Vista's, Google's, Yahoo's, Thoosje's...not worth getting an entirely new app just for one widget feature.; Like this Reply to this comment
