Onenote, two note, three note, four note...

Green note, red note, blue note more notes...

No this isn't some weird Dr. Suess post, this post is about Microsoft "Onenote". Now a lot of you are saying something along the lines of "What in the world is Onenote!?", and I was in your same shoes until around the first week of September.

Onenote is a pretty useful program, if you are one to carry a laptop/PDA/etc. around with you. It can help keep you on task, keep your notes, phone books, bills, etc. For instance, the way the Microsoft webpage explains it is like this:
"Many of us carry a notebook or notepad around to take notes for business, school, or personal projects. But can you easily find — and decipher — the info you need? Is it convenient to share your notes with others? Take control with Microsoft Office OneNote 2007, the easy-to-use note-taking and information-management program where you can capture ideas and information in electronic form. Insert files or Web content in full-color, searchable format or as icons that you can click to access. Watch this demo to see how simple it is to gather, format, organize, and share information. And then say goodbye to your notepad!"

Now, they sell their product well, but I still am not a complete fan and couldn't see myself using it daily. Although, because of its assignments, I do use it to keep track of my tips, and sometimes lack of, from work, my schedule (even though it's already posted online), as well as my teachers information that they often hand out on a paper syllabus, making it much easier to locate. One major thing I don't like about Onenote is the fact that you HAVE to chose a template before typing, or have a blank page. Lame.

Until next time.

That does sound like it would be really useful in keeping track of everything. Especially since it has it's own search function. Knowing Microsoft though, they'll probably be releasing patches for it to add or change a few things. Don't forget there's probably homebrew add-ons you could find online.
