Re: MS OneNote uses for tech comm

D'oh! Losing! Losing 30-40 minutes worth of work! Though for all I know the
proxy did set the unsaved text free to roam about the Interwebs.

Forgot to mention what annoys me about OneNote: No Android app and the
drawing tools do not recognize the eraser on the Wacon pen. Instead either
end of the pen simply uses the currently selected drawing tool. I've kind
of worked around the second problem by changing the macro for the eraser on
the pen when OneNote has focus from Wacom's "eraser" function to the
keyboard shortcut for selecting the OneNote's eraser. A single tap with the
eraser end of the pen and the eraser tool is selected -- but then of course
either end of the pen is an eraser.
