The Good
* Straightforward and easy to use.
* Works off a hierarchical tree system, with notes being categorized in folders and folders having the ability to have subfolders.
* Has a clever "browser", displaying folders and notes in a GUI fashion for easy preview and navigation.
* Notes are in rich text, with users being able to format text (change color, size, type, bold, italicize, underline, use bullets, etc.), attach files, and embed images.
* Has handy "stamp date" and "stamp time" buttons allowing for easy insertions of current date and time into notes.
* Has the ability to search folders/notes/content of notes, and filter folders/notes by search queries.
* Has the ability to automatically create notes from the content stored in Windows Clipboard.
* Has the ability to auto-save notes and auto-backup the whole database.
* Has a recycle bin for recovery of folders/notes after they have been deleted.
* Encrypts database and gives users the ability to password protect.
* Has a portable version.

The Bad
* Lacks a spell-checker (Developer plans on adding a spell-checker in v2, which is currently in Beta).
* Lacks the ability to do ordered list (number text as opposed to bullet text) in notes.
* Users are unable to embed PNG images.
* No "back" and "forward" buttons for easy transitions when browsing notes/folders.
* Lacks the ability to "undo" or "redo" any changes made to the hierarchical tree (undo and redo are supported to changes made to notes' content though).
* Program window needs more definitive borders and a more eye-friendly color scheme.
* No easy way to share notes with others (Developer plans on adding note sharing capabilities in v2, which is currently in Beta).
* Notes cannot be multi-categorized (i.e. one note cannot be categorized under two different, unrelated folders).
* The "Find" feature needs to be tweaked to allow for easier searching for content within a single note.

To #19 - Your little rant about Ashraf's comments will be forgiven, but one can't help but hearken back to the old advice to newbies in any forum, "Read the Forum for a few days before jumping in and educating everyone."

Ashraf is well-respected around here for his always thoughtful and intelligent comments and reviews, as well as his in-depth knowledge and wide experience with many types and brands of software, as well as their market competition. His research of the product offering is incredible. I don't know where he finds the time, but I, like many other users here, am certainly glad that he does. On the rare occasions where he does not comment, his presence is sorely missed.

As for the final little jab, Verdict without the bait and switch for hits on a homepage, said homepage is also a well-respected site and hardly needs any cheap gimmick to lure users over there. The link is provided more as a convenience to those who, like me, would like to read an even more in-depth analysis of the software being reviewed. That analysis often gives detailed accounts of the testing that was performed on the software, in order to arrive at the conclusions at which he has arrived.

As for the Good/Bad monikers, they are listed on said site as "Quick Pros & Cons" and more often than not, are listed as suggestions to the developer on how the software might be improved.

As I step down from my soapbox, I humbly offer my hand to help you down from yours.

> Is the portable Deluxe version being offerred in todays giveaway?

It will be possible to use Portable version in Deluxe mode, but with
one restriction - on computers where GOTD installer wasn't used it will work as Free version.

For details how to do it please contact technical support Monday - we'll provide details how to do it, cause special steps are needed to convert GOTD build in to Portable version. As it's day off today we have bit limited support resources to provide all needed instructions today.

> If notes are encrypted, MUST you have a registered version to view?

Encrypted file can be viewed using Free version, the restriction of Free edition is that you cannot assign password using, but once password is assigned using Deluxe version you can use this feature.

> Is this the full version, or is it the 14 day trial with the option to buy after that?

This is the full Deluxe license, no registration is required - simply install it using this GOTD installer, and you are good to go!
Note: GOTD license doesn't covers free upgrades.

If notes are encrypted, MUST you have a registered version to view?
Encrypting notes requires registration, ok.
Unencrypting requires registration, instant un-install !!!

I've noticed GAOTD offerings sometimes loose it's key after a few months.

Please clarify, as I will not allow any program to hold me hostage like that. Registered to un-encrypt notes???

I'm a bit of a fan of hierarchical note taking programs of which there are many freeware versions.(I do have the freeware portable version of AllMyNotes on a USB stick so I have tried it and its not a bad program)
however for me one of the oldest is still the best - KeynoteNF -http://keynote-newfeat.sourceforge.net/ or the near identical - SEO Note http://www.seonote.info/
