One utility to check out is Comment 2.x, from Deneba Software.  This nifty
little program allows you to set up time reminders (similar to Smart
Alarms) which will appear for time-sensitive tasks (appointments, etc.),
or create a "to-do" list composed of lots of notes viewed globally.
As well, Comment gives you the ability to apply an electronic Post-It(tm)
note to documents, spreadsheet cells, etc.  All in all, a very handy
utility in that it's both easy to use and versatile.

I'm not associated with Deneba in any way other than as a satisfied customer,
but I think they have one of the most consistently useful product lines
in the software business.
