NoteTaker 2003 is a personal notepad, idea organizer, and freeform database that uses a spiral notebook metaphor. With NoteTaker, you can make a list, organize an outline, jot down an idea, and add or change the content and use of your information as needed. 
With NoteTaker, you can take notes, manage project plans, create simple full screen slide presentations, drag or clip information from other applications (or use NoteTaker Services), index and search notebooks, publish and share information, add voice memos and, customize it to fit your information workstyle. Store personal and database-like information without the complexity of using a dedicated database system. Manage and keep track of projects including other application files and tasks in one place. NoteTaker’s user interface uses visually rich “spiral” notebook pages with section tabs. You can either simply have one tab and a long list of outlines, or organize entire project and research journals with many sections and many pages within those tab sections. NoteTaker is intended to be like having electronic paper on your OS X desktop. A notebook displays and stores your personal notes and information in the form of outlines on a page. Outlines themselves, can be a single line of text or a long multi-line, multi-paragraph document. Outlines can also contain multimedia content, web pages, vCard data, document links, Internet clippings and chunks of text from other applications. Everything in a notebook is indexed. A notebook can contain multiple sections with multiple pages. 
Navigation of a notebook is accomplished by clicking on section or page tabs,clicking on next page/previous page controls or using the Go menu commands. Changing from page to page is done with a cool, animated, page-turning effect. The downside of all this that it seems to want a lot of processor and/or video support power, and my 500 MHz G3 PowerBook with 8 megabytes of video RAM isn’t quite up to the task, and I found NoteTaker was generally quite sluggish in response on it. Probably with a G4, or a faster G3 with enough VRAM to support Quarts Extreme, the response lag would probably not be much les noticable. I also noticed a bug that caused NoteTaker windows to spontaneously reposition themselves on the Desktop from time to time. It’s early days for this program I expect that will be fixed in future version upgrade. NoteTaker is an interesting application with a very attractive interface, a lot of innovative and powerful features, and is something genuinely different in the crowdwd NotePad replacement/desktop database category. A 10-day trial copy can be downloaded for free if you would like to try it out. 
List of NoteTaker’s Core Application Features
NoteTaker 2003 is $69.96 demoware and runs on Mac OS X 10.1 and higher. For more information, visit: Slow performance in Jaguar Maybe this will help... Open Firmware password Re: Opera 6 tabbed browsing From Rich Bayer Good day Charles, Synchronicity at work: just ran across an article the other day thinking it might help your machine speed up some in OS X and then today I see you discussing the speed issue once more by addressing fragmentation and mentioning the swap file getting cluttered. I must say right off that I'm still using OS 9.1 and have no first hand experience with OS X but I read everything I come across in anticipation of upgrading my hardware to something at least adequately supporting OS X. Following your Odyssey series almost makes me feel I've become familiar with the new OS myself. Anyway, this article: http://www.lostboi.com/tutorials/movingswap.html instructs one on how to put the swap file on another partition to get a speed boost. It involves going into the terminal and monkeying around in there, so for those who are up to it . . . I hope it helps and if you try it let us all know.
Cheers,
Hi Rich;
Thanks. I downloaded the tutorial, and may try it when I'm feeling brave. ;-)
Glad you are enjoying the Odyssey.
Charles From Jim Dye Hi Charles, I ran across a link today that may be relevent to you. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20021218055429153 The author claims his slow performance issues were related to Unsanity haxies. Hope this proves to be helpful. Keep up the great work! Jim From Nina Tovish ...with your Jaguar slowdowns. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20021218055429153
All the best,
Thanks Tim and Nina. I'm definitely going to try this one soon. I have FruitMenu and WindowShsde X installed, and it's worth a shot.
Charles From John Martellaro Charles, Regarding your published letter from "anonymous" on Open Firmware passwords. To set the record straight, for the readers, Open Firmware passwords can be defeated, and the procedure is part of the Macintosh design. This requires physical access to the computer. As I said in my original letter, a tutorial on how to do that is not in order here. Those needing this emergency service should consult Apple technical assistance or their local Apple Retail Store. John Martellaro From Nicolas Solberg Hi Charles, As a matter of fact you can open a new tab based on a clicked URL just like Mozilla/Chimera/Netscape. Right-click (control-click) the URL and select "open in background page" to a new tab with that link. It's unfortunate the folks at Opera decided to call them PAGES instead of TABS or something at least unique -- it's very confusing since "pages" is commonly what we call all content pages on the web. ;)
Thx,
Thanks Nicholas. However, I still don't find it as slick as the Mozilla/Netscape option of just pressing Command while you click the URL to open the next page in a new Tab window.
Charles
