  Let me start off by admitting that I organize poorly and have never taken to note taking with a keyboard. Tools like sticky brain have never grabbed me. I tend to use whatever is handy to write notes on, and then lose the notes. Being non-organized, I could never keep things in any coherent order within the paper notebook anyway.
  
  So I got a Motion tablet. For whatever reason, using it as both a laptop and a tablet has been intuitive for me. I open a note or journal, start writing and save it. It is easy. And when you need to draw a network diagram or something like that, it is great. So is the ability to switch ink colors and pen sizes.
  
  I do not rely on the writing to text translation very often. I can recognize my handwriting just fine in the notes. I could care less if someone else really needs to read it. Now it would be nice if I could write anywhere in the screen and have the text translated well into whatever program I was using. Typing URLs and commands in a shell prompt come to mind.

  I'm a college engineering student who probably could not live without my tablet pc. I would never dream of taking math, physics, or engineering notes by typing them on a laptop. The multitude of diagrams, tables, charts that I just draw would take too much time using a mouse and keyboard. The professor would have moved on by then! And the organization that OneNote provides is a boon to someone unorganized like myself.
