be aware: This blogging site post was created by Hunt "Hobie" Henning, Jr. — an engineering student from Mobile, Alabama, who recently shared with us how he first discovered and now relies on Microsoft OneNote. Hobie received software, training and a loaner laptop computer from Microsoft as part of his participation in the Real Life Stories program.]
is Hobie Henning and I am a dual-degree engineering major at Spring Hill College. Because one degree is simply not enough, I opted to attend Spring Hill so that I could enjoy the benefits of both a Jesuit education (lots of philosophy, English, theology, etc.) as well as get a more technical degree. At my core, I am a geek and if something has a blinking LED light, then it has my immediate attention. I love to tinker with computers, run my own website, and I work part-time for Spring Hill College’s IT Help Desk. I enjoy books, comics and manga, video games, and hanging out with my friends. last two years, I have been primarily a Mac guy, but I've also used both Windows 7 and Ubuntu on a very regular basis. As part of the Microsoft Office Real Life Stories program, I finally got a chance to live with Windows 7 (http://www.office-2007-key.com/windows-7-key) continuously and have since fallen back in love with Windows, Microsoft Office, and Zune. The Mac is a fantastic platform, but I've missed having a really good version of Microsoft Office on my computer. iWork is nice,genuine office 2010 Standard (http://www.office-2007-key.com/office-2010-key), but its incompatibilities are really annoying if you rely on library printing as much as I do. Office for Mac is also a nice effort, but with the 2008 edition, it feels very out of place and Excel was particularly painful on anything less than a 15" screen. Most of all, I really missed having OneNote — a program that I discovered a few months after buying my Mac. OneNote while I was repairing a student's computer at my old part-time job, a small computer repair shop in Saraland. I played around with it for a bit and right away appreciated the nice outlining features, voice recording abilities, and organization methods. I found out only later that among all of the awesome multimedia, creativity, organization,buy microsoft office 2007 Professional Plus (http://www.office-2007-key.com/), and productivity software that the Mac platform provides that there really isn't anything as good as OneNote for a student. Until now, I've spent the last three years essentially typing notes on my Mac in Pages or Word and then saving them to a folder on my computer, which I consider a very 1998 method of taking notes for class. I have gotten my hands on OneNote 2010, I have really fallen in love with the program. I really like that the application acts as a good, centralized place for taking notes, collecting research material, and organizing for class. I love the ability to record audio as I type and then later have the outline I type highlighted as the audio progresses, giving me the ability to see what I was typing while a professor spoke. Also, I really like how OneNote allows you to be as laid back or organized as you want to be with your notebooks. Like my dorm room,microsoft windows 7 x64 key (http://www.office-2007-key.com/windows-7-key), my personal notebook with web articles that I am reading, personal to-dos, and blog site drafts is fairly unorganized. One tab away,microsoft office 2010 Home And Business code (http://www.office-2007-key.com/office-2010-key), my notebook is broken down by classes, days, and everything is tagged like a book about to be shelved at your public library. know a lot of people who live in Outlook as a means of organizations and communication,windows 7 starter generator (http://www.office-2007-key.com/windows-7-key), but to me OneNote has become that shelf that I can throw everything on. I also really like the OneNote Web App portion of the program and how I don’t have to think about uploading or backing up my notes to my SkyDrive for easy access with a web browser and my Internet connection. I particularly like this feature, because I know that my most important class notes and research will be safe, even if the worst were to happen to my laptop — whether it be dropping it on the way to class or somebody spilling a drink on it in the cafeteria. going back to the Mac has become harder and harder. OneNote 2010 is now an essential part of my student life. Henning
