The one problem I've had with other "infinite paper" approaches to note taking is I like having them segregated. For instance, when I last used my Psion I had separate notes for:
  • patents I was working on
  • Todo list for the day
  • Shopping list for the weekend
  • Phone number for a plumber
  • ...

The big problem with infinite paper is navigating between these and ensuring I've got the space to add to the earlier ones without colliding with another existing note.

Solve these problems and I may be convinced :-)

I write on my screen every single day, small hand written notes which are actually plenty, all I require for the continuous is a button at the bottom to say "move up now, im done with this".
Sounds good: I still haven't got round to giving liqbase a try - and will endeavour to do so ASAP.

As I said above, though, my biggest problem with other similar solutions (e.g. Horizon) was navigating back to individual specific notes for either review or modification at a later date.

I hope to soon bring them all together as groups and tag similar threads to allow all those little notes to be useful and not lost.
Sounds interesting.
