This is the best thing since ever.

http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/index.html has a program called Stickies 6.0c, designed by Tom Revell and distributed as freeware.

Tom says:
"The design goal behind Stickies is that the program is small and simple. Stickies will not mess with your system files, or write to the registry. Stickies stores all information in a single text-based ini file.

Stickies will never support animated dancing figures, or play "Greensleeves". They are instead yellow rectangular windows onto which you can put some text notes. Once created, they will stay on screen until you take them away. Just like a real sticky piece of paper."


The stickies also support an alarm function, so when it is time they will flash and bounce around the computer screen and play an alarm sound (I use a recording of a canary singing).


For me, on the computer first thing in the morning and on and off all day, it's like having a reliable executive assistant, all my own.

stickies ROCK!

My mac came w/ a sticky program and i have stickies all over my wallpaper.

Sounds like a good idea but it would end up a mess for me. I don't do well with the stickie paper and I am sure the stickie program on the computer will meet with equal fate. I'll give it a try though and see what happens.

Thanks for sharing!

But I'm having problems with installing it. it says 'x cannot be written' :(

any solutions?

Sorry, ignore the above post- problem fixed :)

Is it free?

It's free, and there are improvements now and then.

One warning, folks -- now and then (I.e. last Wednesday) the cache file that stores info to generate the stickies can get wiped out by the virus scanner. ~sob!~ So now, each time I add a Stickie, I export all my stickie info to a file on the desktop.
