>We believe there is ONE important difference that sets Livepad apart from other products. The information you store using Livepad is Completely Portable, because Livepad does NOT rely on a huge database to store information. It uses ordinary Files.

This way you can move any livepad file from PC to PC. This also makes the Livepad application small(about 5M) as compared to similar applications that have a large Database (about 70M+) - Riz

I’m not sure I understand. OneNote, for example, is completely portable and uses ordinary (.on) files to store data. Each section is a separate file. The folders within OneNote are ordinary Explorer folders as well.

Yes, the database size will be closer to 70 M than to 5 M, but how could storage as ordinary files achieve such extraordinary compression ratio? (Actually, I would have thought that as far as considerations of space are concerned, fewer Mbs are consumed with a database than with multiple files, by whatever economies of scale large files allow. )
