Are there any online places where you can just take notes so you don't
have to keep pulling up your word processor? Many times I just put information in an email to myself and then email it when I am getting off but it still ends up in a mess although I could put it in a folder to make it easier.

It would be great to have a bookmark that you can just click on that brings up a page that you can start writing on, (one where you can't accidentally press "send or submit or post")

1. Have you tried google docs? I do a lot of interviews over the phone and find it a lot handier than
typing in a word processing program or e-mail. Plus I can access it from any computer.

5. Somehow I downloaded "quick note" and I don't know if it was
from google or not because I remember I added 2 of them. The only works nice, you just hit control + F7 and the notepad shows up and will not hide itself.

But from that download I ended up yet another toolbox. This one has MSNBC on it with news and games and other things I want off of my computer. I can't find it in my programs because I don't know the name of it.

Any guesses

6. That's a Foxfire thing, I think.
If you get yourself a gmail account, you can get into google docs and store them online. Sign up for an account and play around with it.

2. Firefox has some add-ons that you may find useful:

4. Or the Notepad program in Windows.
Just put a shortcut to it on your desktop. It opens a lot faster than word processing programs.

I keep a blank page from notepad on my desktop all the time just to jot things on, like phone numbers.
