Apolyton Notepad: do you use it?
Well, I never used that feature in the forums and I would like to know if someone uses it, out of pure curiosity.

Yes I use it quite a lot.

I keep the URL of interesting avatar's in it for easy access.
I also store my past, present and future sig lines in it, again for ease of reference.

It's not exactly the best feature in the world, but it has a few uses.

URLs. Now that is a good idea.

All my ideas are good.

Also, I think that storing the URL of all Sagacious Dolphin's avatars would be the best possible use for the Notepad.

Those ladies are mighty fine.

Yea, I use it, mainly to have someplace to store URLs when I'm at uni, so I can view them at home as well.

(Yes, I'm too lazy to mail myself a bunch or URLs)

Yet another thread about this. Looks like the useless notepad is the most popular subject for spam threads.

Anyway, I don't use the notepad feature as I have quicker access to Windows' Notepad and it loads faster than the Poly notepad.

It's great for scrawling slogans against murderous dictators, or (as mentioned above) urls of interesting images…

When somebody posts an interesting link, and I'm not on my own computer (i.e. can't add it to my "favorites" list), then I'll add the link to my notepad.

Uh. I never saw another thread about this, but then I'm lazy enough to not look for it...

And, believe me or not, I did not think about spam when I started this thread... Not much...

I use it to store and a preview a demographical table of the Finnish posters.

Since it displays the text and code as in a post, it's easy for me to preview the table code after changes and to spot any mistakes before posting it on the Suomithreadi; so I use it regularly once or twice in a month.

I use it: list of enemies, some interesting quotations, and the lyrics to my favorite song, which I read whenever I need inspiration.
