I would actually PAY for this gadget AS DESCRIBED!... What IS going on here?...

I am not so confident this will run so well on my eepc with XP running... :( I was quite happy with this app. The main concern for me is bloat – I want the program to get the job done and not slow down my computer with extra stuff I don’t need.

Therefore, I went to the Comodo website and entered a ticket for this issue, asking them to please clarify whether this was a fasle positive. After more than a week without response, I scanned the installation files using a number of other tools without problem. And since I cannot wait forever for the Comodo/BOclean people to reply, I can say based on my other tests that I am confident this title is spyware/trojan free.

I didn't realize "Stickies" has such a strong following. All I can say in response is that one day I will write a "best of freeware" posting and list all the various categories, and both Stickies and Shock Sticker will be mentioned in the "Desktop Notes" section. Btw I re-installed Stickies before I wrote this review in order to take a fresh look; and yes it is a very excellent program. One of the perks of having my own blog, however, is that I can be subjective, and in this case I will say that at least for the time being I am happier with Shock Sticker :). Wow.

I activate it by double clicking the bar which you can set in options. The manager is good as you can edit the notes there. I do sometimes have a problem with finding the note but the search feature is awesome and it finds what I need in a blink of an eye. There are also the sleep & wake features that are very useful especially the recurring wake. Not to mention the attach that Michael describes. I feel I should stop praising it cause they will start charging money for the soft :) Anyway, there are many alternatives and anyone can find something for themselves. I think you're doing an extremely good work at putting stuff out there and I'm continuously amazed.

With stickies you can attach a sticky to an application and it hides when you close that app and comes back when you run it again. This is a great feature I like a lot! :) I also am a die hard stickies user and there is one useful feature I didn’t see you mention.

The import/export option didn't occur to me (I added it to the wish list). However I find the notes manager in stickies somewhat confusing and unintuitive, and what I like about Shock Sticker is the way it compactly minimizes to floating icons, making it easy to manage my notes right on the desktop. I think that Stickies might offer "rolling up" of notes but if so that does not seem to work properly on my machine. I also like the simplicity that Shock Sticker provides, which is somewhat lost with Stickies. Eve,

I definitely prefer Stickies as I can keep my notes off-screen in Manager, notes are nicer looking and the software is more user friendly. The only thing that Stickies seem not to have is password protection but then it's a bit odd function in a note taking software. And notes on-screen can be minimized to title also taking up very little monitor space. So I see Stickies as a hands-down winner.
