Sticky notes on your monitor

A friend sent me the cutest free software for sticky notes. The wee little
icon sits unobtrusively on the bottom of the screen until needed. Of
course, it may be years before I learn all its capabilities but just to
begin with I can write little yellow notes, retrieve them on top of any
program in progress and get rid of them with a click. DH wonders if I'll
have the entire screen covered with notes soon. I guess it could happen but
I've already learned to delete them and I think (?) there's a way to store
them. somewhere. somehow. maybe later.
The free program is

Try it the next time you 'put away' something in a place you may never think
of again. Polly

You've been able to do that on Macs for close on 20 years - in System
7.5, whenever that was.

So when I got System 7.5, I thought "what a neat idea" and started
using them straight off. I'm not usually an early adopter but this
seemed terrific.

I think they lasted three days before I decided they were more of
an annoyance than a help and disabled them.

Well, yes, Jack. I suppose the same could be said of husbands. Polly

Oh, I remember sticky notes! When I worked at the newspaper I had them
on
my old Mac IICi. Like 1993 or so. I used them a lot.
I don't think there was a method to store them back then. You could
minimize them
so that just the yellow stripe showed. They came in all colors.
I might try that program. Deja vu. It will remind me of my cubicle
era.

I use them on my Mac of and on. They can be helpful for quick notes and then
they can disappear once I'm done with them. Just like the real ones.
