Sticky notes on your monitor

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.

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.

HAHAHAHAHAHH!! Good one Polly!

Thanks, Lynne. I thought it was. I reckon everybody else is out Trick or Treating . . . or hiding chocolate from the little kids. =) Polly

Thanks Polly. I'm going to have a look. :-)

Are you telling me it *doesn't*??? :O

LOL

I wouldn't know! I'm not allowed to touch it!

Cindy

LOL! As you may have guessed, Cindy, I love my Mac, too. I've had Macs since the mid-80s (long before I was able to be online), and I can't see that I'd ever change. :)

Howdy!

Well, there is that certain "Duh!" factor.

R/Sandy - quilting next to the Mac

Oh, I knew, Sandy! I can spot "you people" a mile away.

I started out with an Apple 2C, then a 2GS (Color monitor! wow!).

Remember when "online" was just a few bulletin boards from Local Universities?. Where I lived, I could only stay logged on for 30 minutes A DAY, so I signed up every single person in my extended family so I could stay on longer.

I found my internet manual from that time. It's antique now. Absolutely nothing in that huge binder applies to today.

I have post-it notes all around my computer at work....having them on my virtual desktop sounds like a good idea too! Thx! Allison

LOL!

I used to repair those, and Macs, after hours in my school district.

I remember dial-up, but nothing prior to that. Unfortunately for me at the time, there simply wasn't any internet/online access in the small town where we lived until the mid-90s. :S I was *dying* to get online!

I'll bet! I don't have any of my older stuff, as we have no place to store that kind of thing. But I'll bet it's a hoot going through it!

About the same for Windows. Windows 95 was the first time I used a sticky note. It wasn't as good as this one, though. This one is quick and only as obtrusive as you want it to be. Thanks, Polly!

I *think* I remember using one on Windows 3.11. I just email myself now. :)
