Seeking old (98SE?) LAN aware Post-It clone ...

It might help to take a look at this thread which mentions plenty of different sticky note products, both freeware and shareware.

Did that first ... but didn't find what's required.  Mind you, I'd love to use some of 'em, but I'm up against a client request, and she is not particularly amenable to reason  :-[.  Typical, "I can't say what I want, but I'll know it when I see it."  She's recalcitrant - {mulish? | pig-headed? | [insert your adjective of choice here]} - to accept any judgment/opinion except her own  :'(.  Didja ever get into a contract - as a favor - you wished you'd declined?  I'm there  :-[.  So I'm constrained to try to find something that probably does not any longer exist, and likely would not function in current Windows versions.  Frustrating, but there it is.

Edit:  correct typos.

Hmmm.  On further reflection, perhaps ATnotes, free, discontinued, but still available?  If I recall correctly, it was the most popular free one until Zhorn Software's Stickies arrived.

Edit (1): Last version of ATnotes is 9.5.  It was officially discontinued on 30 May 2005, if that helps with the time frame.

Edit (2): The ATnotes site suggests Gizmo's list for freeware sticky notes.  The exact page is Best Free Sticky Notes Utility.

Awesome! :Thmbsup:
Memory responded as soon as you mention ATnotes ... last time I used it was ~2001, and memory that far back must needs be jogged  ;D.

This should please the old broad (her naming, not mine, and soon to be her site name(?)  ;)), and we can get on with her task(s).

Glad to be of help, and thanks for the very generous DC credits  :)

I had about 25 files in my files\Windows\Sticky_notes file stash, some of them just different versions of each other.  ATnotes was first in the list, so an easy memory jog.
