I am running a 10.5.8 (latest version of Leopard).
Overall, I appreciate and recognize the effort of the developer(s), but don't believe that this widget is worth $10 or $5 even without the background glitch.
As many have already said, there are other notepad widgets that are both free and reliable out on the web. Personally, I would recommend Secret Notepad and DashNotes as good free notepad widgets.
Once this bug/glitch is resolved, I would be happy to change my ratings for my review on this site.
If you need to retrieve your stuff:
Notepad stores everything as txt documents in the subfolder HD/Users/User/Library/Notepad
Lists don't come out formatted so well, but all the data is there.
Easyfind, a freeware producte brought to you by the great people at devonthink is really wonderful for finding stuff like that and those extra sticky things that uninstallers don't find.
But I still want Notepad!
Yah, me too. I haven't figured this one out. I'd love for someone to send me a serial number.
There are a number of different products. A good half dozen that I can think of off the top of my head. They all have different qualities that notepad had--one has a password, one exports, one resizes, one has font control, etc. Some have more than one of those.
If you used notepad for something really specific, reply and I'll try and see if I can recommend something. But I'd also just recommend doing some good google searches for notepad widget mac and downloading a few.
sorry for the double post--didn't realize replied were threaded so that they weren't shown on the main page

With its nice font size and well-positioned buttons, NotePad allows me to cram a ton of information into a tiny space, quickly and easily.

Why won't I purchase? Let me count the ways:
1) You have to log in to their website in order to purchase.
2) Website does not support my browser of choice, OmniWeb.
3) No clear directions on how to create a log in.
4) Did I mention this: you have to log in to the website in order to purchase! (You can tell that this one really has me riled up!)
Sorry guys, this is ridiculous!

We've taken your feedback, and removed registrations from the site. In addition, the upcoming version of Omniweb (5.5, now in semi-public beta) will fully support the site.
Thanks!

This uses the dashboard well and makes it functional as well as frivolous. Many free widgets are available, from major govt or commercial agencies, I guess as loss leaders. Many free widgets are fluff and flash.
5 bucks for well designed improvement on the sad old sticky ?
This is just great for phone messages etc
Give the developers a break.
Support their enterprise cheapskate.
Most of their widgets are free and nice too.
