Sometimes what you need is not an advanced text processor but a virtual scrapbook to write down an occasional thought, a plan for the day or a love letter draft. With a plain text editor, which can be used for this purpose, you have to run the program first, then create a new file, then type a line or two and close the file. Too many things to do in order to simply write down a thought? Get rid of them with JC&MB Quicknote.
     JC&MB Quicknote is an always-available notepad tool that lets you type or copy/paste bits of text anytime, demanding no space on your taskbar and as little memory as it can. The program is accessible via a small line on the top edge of your desktop - move your mouse over it and the tool will 'wake up' and display its resizable window.
     It can run on startup and show alert windows with reminder messages, lets you directly access frequently run programs and even print out your notes. The program is absolutely free, though donations are welcome. Download this handy tool today and concentrate on content rather than form.
