I was using NotePad and saving it on the desktop (easy access) but my desktop is starting to get littered. I could throw them in folders, but I got to thinking that it would be nice if there was something easy to use that could embed pictures and things to.

Im not really using this for school except for the occasional project, more just for taking notes on things I think of, find online, stuff like that.

So, any suggestions?

I use openoffice.org its basically like word, but its free. you could also use WordPad, that comes standard on all windows computers.

Well, yes, I use openoffice most of the time, but the point was for something that could embed pictures, and was lightweight.

Openoffice is lighter weight than word, but its still an intense program. I would really like something built for note taking. I find OneNote to be ok, but its expensive and their really isnt a good crack for it.

This is shareware, so I don't know if you'll want to purchase it or not. There's a trial period to find out.

I found that one. It just didnt really look all that good. It seems pretty old.

The only thing I can think of that even remotely comes close would me Microsoft's OneNote. It's a program specifically designed for note taking and I believe it has everything you're needing. Although it's a part of their Office suite and alas, not free...

Thanks though.

I might just go for it. I wouldnt buy it, but I think I can grab a OEM code from school.

Anyone know anything good about Lotus Notes? Ive heard of it, but when I google it, it doesnt really look like what I want.

Theres not a demo thats easily accessible, and its alot to download if Im not sure Ill like it.

I think OneNote is probably the best program for note-taking out there.  Not that I'm pro-Microsoft, but I've used other free and proprietary note-taking software and none of them have the ease-of-use or seamless integration that OneNote has.  And if taking notes from stuff online is a big thing for you, then OneNote is a must, as you can screen-capture things directly into there, etc.  Also, if you use a tablet PC like I do, the handwriting-to-text converter comes in handy as well.  The only bad thing I can think about it is the high price, but personally, it is worth the price.

Im gonna get it, unless anyone knows anything about lotus notes.

Ill look for a good download, or grab a product code from school. I was screwing around with it in class today again (last time I used it was like a year ago, and I used it ALOT for a report) and I must say, it seems like it will be the best.

It ran great on the POS computers the school has to.

Ironicly enough, I have a tablet PC, but it runs linux, and I already have a program from there.
