I guess it's a slightly unfair question, but which of the pair has the editor decided to run with? :)

You will need to wait for the Grumpy Old Editors Guide to PostIt Notes.

Indeed. Almost half of his hairs are still that orangish color!

Our editor has enough with being grumpy, as to also suffer from old age. Also, it is not PostIt (which is a trademark) but computerized note-taking. Speaking of PostIt, I remember actually seeing some note-taking application by 3Com with the official PostIt trademark, but apparently it didn't reach too many people.

And speaking of old: it would be good to compare with some oldies goldies. The old Mac OS note-taking application (not to confuse with the infamous Lotus Notes) was quite useful, the only disadvantage was its irregular tendency to drop notes, at least on System 7. Does this new breed of note-taking applications bring anything new to the table, or is it just a rehashing?

Wiki-style hyperlinks and synchronization, I'd say. I don't know whether the MacOS application has hyperlinking or not.

I'm not sure which application is referred to, but I distinctly remember a Mac applications called 'hypercard'. Back in, I guess, 1963 or thereabouts.
