K, all you Mac people! How come none of you ever told me how cool OmniOutliner is?
MS Word bites when I'm trying to take notes. Its annoying autoformat options and such make it a royal pain to try to type notes.
I take notes in outline form, normally using just dashes instead of letters & numbers. This nifty little program that's been lurking here since I bought my computer. Very convenient and perfect for taking notes in class.
