Notebook is a relatively easy to use software to take notes, jot down ideas, write a novel, or a list, or just about anything that needs to be written down. One of the features I like the most is the ability you have to set passwords for individual notes...

The feature that attracted me the most is that Tinderbox updates me every time my proposals are reviewed or forwarded. This gives me an idea that how effective my pitch and if the customers are interested in it or not.
