I used to be addicted to sticky notes. There I said it…
The kids in the mail room were bringing me a few new packs daily. I stuck them everywhere. On monitors, servers, laptops even on interns. (Hey I have problems remembering names more than IP addresses!)

If you are a “sticky” person then this is an application you won’t want to miss - and of course it is free. So go grab this Windows only installer from here. You can visit their homepage here.
