   Man why the hell do you always think about size as a major drawback? I mean what R U on 28.8 dial up? Man 2MB is nothing!

   And httpd, on the other hand, by not giving Note-It and other apps their due, you are too quick to doom them because they're not the other; as if to say, "Because the new Honda S2000 sports car is not a Porsche 911 Carrera, it's crap" is how you seem to be judging Note-It.
   
   Besides, it's an over the top analogy since Notepad is part of an OS package, not developed indepently, and hasn't changed in 16 years.
   
   If you intend to make a valid comparison of using an UltraEdit because it's top of the line and until someone beats it, I'll stay put, then fine.
   
   I won't blow smoke at you: I like your way of thinking; you know what you're talking about; your analysis always goes further than surface comments, and as a FileForum visitor, I appreciate the insights often in your reviews.
   
   But on Note-It, we'll disagree. ;-)

   Ah, I knew it would come down to personal insults. I see--my opinions don't count because I am objective, even when reviewing freeware, and because I tend to be critical and forthright. Too bad.
   
   The funny thing about the criticism of my point of view is that the few simple things I mention are being regarded as "feature overload". Give me a break... You seriously think that Stickies is overloaded with "bells and whistles"?
   
   And Zaine, you think that Stickies fails to be simple? (I can see that criticism leveled against StickyNote, but ... Stickies?) I actually find Stickies simpler than Note-It, because it's more intuitive to me.
   
   A tray icon and a way to recover deleted notes... If that is truly to be considered feature bloat, then I woke up in a different dimension this morning.
   
   And what about feature underload? That's what Note-It offers.
   
   It's your application, and you may (obviously) do what you want with it. But these are my reviews, and I can do the same.
   
   ------
   
   Zaine, I did right click, of course, and if I missed something, I apologize. I know that Note-It "doesn't try to be Stickies", but to me that's an argument to nowhere. By the same reasoning, you could rate Notepad with high marks, saying it "doesn't try to be UltraEdit".

   Uh, you didn't right-click then, I take it? No doubt, httpd, I won't deny the time and thought you put into your reviews, even if I sometimes disagree. This is just one of those instances. The latest version contains some additional editing tools like bullets, indents, and text alignment options, along with a few minor bug fixes.
   
   Stickies has long been the de facto standard in this category of software. But my point is that Note-It is not Stickies, nor does it pretend to be. It is merely a simpler note app. Think AbiWord compared to Microsoft Word. Both do many of the same things, but AbiWord removes the complexity, as does Note-It in this comparison.

   2.5mb installer for a simple post-it notes application? Think again.
