Don't know if anyone noticed this, but I thought it was interesting that CintaNotes now costs $10... though you can continue using the previous version free. This makes sense and $10 is a bargain as far as I can tell... I don't use CN, but think it is a nice little program.
Any CN users planning to upgrade?

Steve, I use it all the time - but no plans to upgrade

I'll definitely upgrade. CintaNotes is one of the best and most useful programs I've ever tried.
It's extremely ergonomic, for one thing.You never have to take your hands off the keyboard for anything. In fact, you don't even have to open the program. As long as it's running in the background, you can capture text from anywhere you can copy and paste. If you're copying text from a web site--a news article, for instance--Cintanotes will create a separate note for the article and capture the article title and URL automatically. This is fantastically useful for bloggers, for one thing.
This is the kind of program that's so useful in the real world that it should be included as part of the Windows operating system.

I like the 'freemium' model they chose: all functions that have been available until now remain free in the program. You only pay if you want to enable new 'commercial' features, namely:
- Multiple notebook files support (this alone is worth the price for me; it was the main reason that my CintaNotes instance is underused)
- Pasting notes into other applications (this makes CintaNotes double as FlashPaste --remember that?)
- Export to HTML (depending on the HTML produced this might be very useful)
- Tag usage counts on Tag Sidebar (handy as feedback to one's choice of tags)
For once, it will be very difficult for 'freeriders' to complain...
