[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 theirs desktop, if recipients have also program installed. Otherwise program will use Windows Messenger Service (NET SEND command, WinPopup) and on recipient computer, message box will appear with note text and sender name. When note is received, only then recipient have reply option in a note menu to send back note to sender with a different text. So that's the reason why program is also a messenger. 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.
