I think I would get more use from OneNote if I could write like in a notebook. Old habits die hard, I guess, and I still prefer actually writing over typing. That said, OneNote is handy for jotting down quick notes, I've started using it to track ideas for blogs, jotting down quotes from books I want to remember, that kind of thing. Thanks for the ideas on other ways to use it. Lilia,

I’m jealous (envious?) of your TabletPC. I think I would get more use from OneNote if I could write like in a notebook. Old habits die hard, I guess, and I still prefer actually writing over typing.

That said, OneNote is handy for jotting down quick notes, I’ve started using it to track ideas for blogs, jotting down quotes from books I want to remember, that kind of thing.

Thanks for the ideas on other ways to use it.

I use it mainly for:
- meetings – in handwriting
