  FREEWARE SPOTLIGHT

  

  By Deanna McElveen

  I am, because this is quite different. This will change the way you live! It’s on a par with the printing press! The cotton gin! This telephone! Okay, fine, it’s at least equal to the invention of fried pies!

  Anand Gupta, a wonderful, professional developer from West Bengal, India, has created a freeware program called Stick A Note that is considerably different from any sticky-note program you have ever used.

  ONENOTE

  

  By Mary Branscombe

  The Windows desktop OneNote app has tools to help you understand and troubleshoot sync issues, but don’t rush into anything.

  The beauty of OneNote is that when you drop information into it, you have it at your fingertips on every device you use without the effort of copying files back and forth. That’s great until the sync system that makes that happen hits a snag and your notes stop showing up everywhere.

  There are some common problems that you may run into with OneNote and fixing them is often simpler than the cryptic error messages would suggest, especially once you understand how sync works.

  By Susan Bradley

  The September updates for Windows appear to be better behaved than those in other recent months.

  Gone is the notation that Windows 10 or Windows 11 will trigger audio issues when the updates are installed. Also, thankfully, it appears that the problems with USB printers have been resolved.

  But with iPhone 14, Apple has done something I consider remarkably clever.
