Hi All.
I've been tasked with finding a quick note-taking applet that will
reside on the desktop but that won't cost much if anything.  I
researched several applets reviewed by ZDNet and Tucows.  I've been
testing them and so far have found Quicknote to be the most functional
of the bunch.  However, Outlook has a notes feature which I personally
use within Outlook.

That means Outlook must be open which for some is a negative. I placed a
shortcut to the Desktop for New Note so Outlook can just stay minimized
which is cool. The only things missing for many is an alarm feature.
I've tried explaining that the Calendar can provide alarms but they
don't want that.  The other feature they want is the ability to have
notes be transparent and reside on top of other apps. For example, I
right now have a Quicknote open on top of the email I'm typing.  Because
it's transparent, it's not interfering. Although, if there are words in
the note, transparent or not, it's in the way.

I don't pretend to understand the actual objective in this particular
exercise but I need to ask if anyone knows of Outlook add-ins for the
Notes feature.
