Oliver Rist over at
Infoworld has a
new article on his attempt to use
OneNote again (or for the first time depending on how you look at it).
I was right there with Oliver on his assessment of OneNote being cool on a TabletPC, but of limited value on a regular PC. For meeting note taking, I have always been a big fan of
MindMapper. One of my coworkers, however, is a devoted OneNoter and she uses a regular PC (though she pines away constantly for a new Tablet). The one thing in Oliver's article that really made me think I may need to revaluate OneNote was his comments on how OneNote is great for those of us that have piles of paper representing various "research" projects. That is my desk to a tee and maybe OneNote would be a better archive for that stuff. It would certainly make it easier when I want to revisit my initial investigation into some topic that really wasn't important but certainly interesting. If I had a dollar for everytime I have reprinted articles on genetic programming, well, you get the point.
