Yeah I posted in another thread the NoteBook site:malagueno wrote:The only other viable option I've heard of is OmniOutliner. If I'm not mistaken I think there are a few people on here who swear by it. I, personally, have never used either program, but am interested in the answers since I will be getting a new Macbook soon.

Re: Best Mac equivalent of One Note
Forgive me for asking, because I didn't read too much about it, but what do you mean write it in? How would you write something into a Mac? an external device via usb? or write something and scan it in?macattaq wrote:The whole concept, but mostly Onepony. This is exactly what I need, because it is hard for me to learn when I type my notes. Writing them in will allow me to have them on computer and also memorize via writing.

Re: Best Mac equivalent of One Note
I mean write it in via a USB device. If I'm not mistaken, this program allows one to write on a tablet or something of that nature and have the words show up on screen.Zeph wrote:Forgive me for asking, because I didn't read too much about it, but what do you mean write it in?

Organization I believe is the main reason to use note taking programs. Word is just all jumbled and sloppy. Whereas these programs put everything in a more manageable format for you to play with

Re: Best Mac equivalent of One Note
I did the free trial version, and it didn't seem like it was that different than my notebook Word. But I'm sure someone will tell me something different or "better"

Lishi you have a mac right? A friend of mine uses word with notebook view and she said for some reason its glitchy for her. An you tried the trial version of the circus pony software? You didnt like it because it wasnt anything out of the ordinary?

Re: Best Mac equivalent of One Note
I'm not sure OO is worth the price though. Notebook View in Word is okay, but it's just too slow and I hit too many formatting snags. If I could go back I think I'd have given Circus Ponies a shot since it's a bit cheaper and I think you can keep all your notes in one document like One Note which would be nice.
Also if your heart is set on One-Note, consider setting up VMWare Fusion or Parallels so that you can run windows simultaneously with OS X, and just use One-Note in a little window on your desktop.

Re: Best Mac equivalent of One Note
I've never had any glitches or formatting errors with my notebook view. Honestly I didn't notice much difference from he Circus Ponies, but that was also a year ago so I may have forgotten. Try typing up something in the notebook view of word, and then do it for the free trial at circus ponies and see which yuo think is best. Circus ponies might have offered a few extra features, but none of them were enough for me to pay for it.Zeph wrote:lishi wrote:I'm a girl that likes to have pretty notes that are color coded and tabbed, and I just use the notebook view of my regular Word document.

Also for my omnioutliner, I have a free edition on my computer, so maybe try and see if that is true on your computer. It may not be the full version though.

Re: Best Mac equivalent of One Note
From what I've read it is a full version. Just not the Pro version which many people recommend for the extra capabilities. However, if you already have the normal version I think it is cheaper to upgrade then buy the Pro version on its own, but I may be mistaken.lishi wrote:

Re: Best Mac equivalent of One Note
This was my experience after playing with the circus pony for the past day. Word is just cleaner, more professional, and has better output options (I have to print my outlines for review). OSX is so fluid anyway, I feel like the rapid pace of any class isn't really a problem for the typical mac user. Any huge plusses to Notebook that haven't been covered?Zeph wrote: An you tried the trial version of the circus pony software? You didnt like it because it wasnt anything out of the ordinary?

To be honest im just gather info right now, I'll be ordering my mac julyish when they have the free ipod and printer option for back to school like the normally do. Once i get it i will have to play around with them all. This will be my frist mac so i hope the learning curve isnt steep enough to slow me down in LS.

I believe that if you are running windows then you can use it, but dont quote me on that. I saw that floating around on some mac forums when i was looking if OneNote came on the mac with office 2008

Why do you have to run bootcamp, other than possibly for exams?
