Seems to become of the most funny threads ;-) Nobody can say what instrument you need, but just *you* yourself <bg>. We don't know what you are doing with your computer or want to do with it ;-) No one knows if in real life you use folders, filing cabinets or whatever to store your pare documents or if you just have them lying around in huge piles ;-) No one knows if you use/need a wordprocessor like MS Word, Windows Journal, WMP etc.,., etc. Just trying to give some short hint: 1.) Speech and handwriting recognition are *instruments* to work with in applications. 2.) OneNote is an application. Using it one can use the afore said instruments. It's a almost perfect piece of all-around software, especially if one uses a TabletPC (like you seem to have in mind), but it's fantastic on a desktop too. 3.) OneNote is a fantastic application offering uncountable possibilities to ease one's work and get one's computer work *organized*. ON is - besides WinMail - the most used app on all of my system, my TabletPC, my old notebook and my desktop computer too. And most important in so far: *Everything* always is in synch on all of the said systems (just automatically <!!>). I suggest the following: 1.) Just go through the most valuable information on the OneNote homepage http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/FX100487701033.aspx Go through the articles and see the demos. 2.) Download the software (fully functional 90 days trial) and install it. 3.) Play with it. 4.) Ask again. Rainald

That's a different question. Perhaps you don't. OneNote is a digital alternative to notetaking via pen and paper. Overview from the Microsoft website: "Office OneNote 2007 is a digital notebook that provides people one place to gather their notes and information, powerful search to find what they are looking for quickly, and easy-to-use shared notebooks so that they can manage information overload and work together more effectively. Unlike paper-based systems, word processing programs, e-mail systems, or other productivity programs, Office OneNote 2007 delivers the flexibility to gather and organize text, pictures, digital handwriting, audio and video recordings, and more — all in one digital notebook on your computer." How much reading have you done about the capabilities of OneNote? Have you read the Microsoft material online? If you've been through some or all of this and nothing grabs you as exciting or interesting then perhaps you don't need OneNote. -- Regards John Waller
