A Rave for OneNote

I've only been using OneNote for less than a week and I wish I could marry it!



I've been nuts trying to figure out how to organize our Forensic Lab to

prepare for another ISO Accreditation Surveillance review in March.  There

are thousands of files to keep track of (both active and inactive) and all

have to be reviewed, updated, signed sealed and delivered, kissed on the

forehead and sent on their way to the current Quality Manual.



I'm only one person with little administrative assistance and was tearing my

hair out.



Enter OneNote.  (imagine a little Vivaldi Spring music here)



I've mastered sections, subsections, pages, and subpages and created a

notebook that you can zip around in a flash.  Being a bit obsessive

compulsive, I am reminded of the scene in "Paper Chase" where the nerdy law

student began worshipping his "notes" rather than studying it and learning it.



But not me!  Once you create such a thing of beauty, you can't help but want

to spend time with it.  The dogs (Magdalene and Luna are extremely jealous of

OneNote.  Magdalene sat her little butt on the laptop keyboard last night and

demanded some quality time. Lapdog extraordinaire.)



In less than three days of work, I've hyperlinked every pesky little puppy

file into tables for organized review and updating.  I've organized every

scientific article reference, every brainstorm idea so that they are at my

fingertips in a instant.  All my personnel files jump to front and center

when bidden.  My but this makes me feel very powerful and extremely organized.



Will you marry me, OneNote?  (imagine Lohengrin Bridal March music here)  I

don't have a ring to offer you but I am considering buying a digital pen....

Thanks for the kind words. I've forwarded your message to the rest of

the OneNote team.

I have to agree with you about OneNote.  It is an AWESOME application and has

been extremely handy for me when going to meetings and conferences and

keeping my notes organized.

While you are at it could you send them my Most GRACIOUS thanx...   I've

been using an ancient mead paper PIM for as long as i can remember (actually

only 15 years)  and i have to migrate every new version of my "Brain" into

the new one; condensing this and deleting that only to find that i still have

to store the old hard copy somewhere... (usually my mom's garage, since i

live in apartments and move about a bit often at times)  ON is actually

making it worth investing in a laptop just so i can have it with me

everywhere.   then it will just be a matter of scanning in all my old "Brain

Cells"  (searchable text in pictures rocks)  Oh and i would also like to

thank the USN for teaching me how to print so that almost every OCR knows

what i'm talking about.  (even when most people don't)
