microsoft’s onenote is a great piece of software. you have use windows of course, and good luck moving it from the computer you installed it on, but it’s good software.

to use it successfully on a mac will cost you about about $500. onenote itself is only $120 give or take. ‘course you you have to run it on a legal copy of windows, say $300 off the shelf, and to run windows on the mac you’d use VMWare Fusion which is about $80. No you wouldn’t use Parallels. I’ll explain that in another post.

OR….

you can just run circus ponies’ notebook v3.0. for $50.

you can use evernote, evernote is great for making searchable notes, web syncing, but notebook works they way you would if you had a ringed notebook in front of you.

i liked notebook 2.x but v3 just blew me away.

just the simple addition of sticky notes stuck to a spot on the page, like you might do with a physical notebook, and the sticky flags (just like the one’s 3m makes) is pure genius.

and…wait for it…it all “just works”. it has other features also, but i can explore them as i need to.

it’s currently my favorite piece of mac software. if you want to make notes like you would in real life, notebook 3.0 is for you.
