    ...so I'll need a Windows version to replace it. The current system is brilliant - real paper cards, colour coded for category and actual sticky-up tabs for a very short description. Simple, fast, and I've been using it for more years than I care to remember, but I've run out of blank cards, and the ones in use are seriously tatty. The real kicker - I started using it when the digital freebie with Windows 3 (3.1?) disappeared! Anybody out there know of anything that simple? Just colour coded cards and sticky-up tabs are the prime requirements, but my Google-fu hasn't found anything yet, and I really don't want to roll my own if I can help it. Pretty please! :-D

        Than, but I am extremely reluctant to have this information online. The security of a locked box next to my desk is hard to beat!

          Your bio says "Web Developer". I don't know if your lack of trust in your chosen development medium says more about you or the web. :doh:

            A web developer never puts personal data on the web - because he/she provides the means of it...

                The following in google certainly seemed to return what you described.
