Note management software

[NuclearDreams]

I was just wondering which software, if any, you all use for note taking or notes management. Over the years the software I've used for managing my notes has varied. I started off using Sidekick and then switched over to Lotus Organizer. After I bought a pocket PC I needed a software that I could use on my gadget and my home PC. I came across a program called PhatNotes by Phatware. It is a great program that is able to sync between Pocket PCs/Smartphones and the desktop PC. It has fantastic database management capabilities, and I thought, finally, this is the software I've been looking for. Then a year ago I stumbled across OneNote from Microsoft. I'm not trying to make a pitch for Microsoft...but this has got to be the best notes management software I've ever seen. It has every thing you could possibly want in a note management software. Software like this makes it really fun to organize the various scraps of info laying around your hard drive. There are too many functions to describe here so I've provided some links.

Notepad.

I do have OneNote on my phone as well as on computer, so I might check it out. It's funny because everything MS has touched in the past 2 years or so has been turning to gold and I've been very pleased with nearly all their stuff.

My only worry with something like OneNote is that it won't pick up and become obsolete causing the file format to become extinct. I have txt documents from 95 that still work because the format doesn't change.

I've been using evernote for a little while now. The free version is perfect for me.

I gave OneNote a try last night and so far, I absolutely love it.
