WinJottr*
Open Window has released a major upgrade to WinJottr, its popular desktop notetaking utility for Microsoft Windows. Unlike other "notepad" products, WinJottr has been specifically designed to remain open and ready to use at all times. Its small window (less than 10% of the area of an SVGA display) can be positioned unobtrusively in a corner and its Always On Top option allows it to be instantly accessible for capturing that quick thought or important phone number. With the latest upgrades, WinJottr can be used as a "lite" PIM - a boon to those who don't wish the learning curve or expense of more complicated products. The 30K capacity of the .JOT files produced by WinJottr allows most users to go a month or more before starting a new file. A series of monthly .JOT's in the vein of: APR97.JOT, MAY97.JOT, etc. allows for the orderly binding of the user's note history. A free demo version is available for download.
