BrainFreeze

This overly simple application provides a place to jot down notes, but lacks an easy way to organize or navigate saved entries. BrainFreeze's interface looks and works like an ordinary scratch pad, but offers no controls to navigate the program. Initially, a start page is displayed with three links for To-do Lists, Favorite Sites, and Favorite Search Engines, though you can add your own links. Though it's not noted, and the program doesn't offer a help file, we found you can right-click your mouse to return to the start page after you've clicked on a link. The program includes a backup utility that allows you to create copies of your notes, but you can't view entries from the program. There's not much to recommend this software, which is especially confusing for the novice, and it doesn't provide enough flexibility for any user.
