Free software 9: ATnotes

According to the Chinese adage '' A good memory is inferior to a rotten brush pen", it is better write down something improtant rather than keeping them in memory.

ATnotes is a FREE program which creates notes on your desktop. Stay in the system tray, take only a little system resources: it really does a good job. Moreover, it supports 46 languages. Just download the language file and copy in to ATnotes install directory, it will display your required language automatically. You can also set up the hot keys to accelerate your work ;P.
