[edit] Features
It is multithread client/server network tool that works as desktop notes (like sticky post-it notes) that could be send through LAN, Internet or via e-mail to other users. Note color, size, font, paragraph format and other settings can be changed. Custom note colors (themes) can be saved. Alarm, backup and restore function are applied. Alarm and expiration for any note might be set. When one user send note to other users, they will receive exactly the same note on their desktop if recipient have also program installed, otherwise program will use Windows Messaging Service (Net Send, WinPopup) and on recipient computer message box will appear with note text and sender name. It makes writing notes to your self or to your colleagues very easy and instant. The sticky notes appear "stuck" on your desktop, and it is pretty hard to forget something that is written on them.
