I use it to keep track of the books, by year, I checkout at the library.

I make my shopping list for the Commissary, Costco, and the Navy Exchange.

I keep a not on the medications I'm on so when I'm asked I can tell the doctor.

I keep the names of people who live in our small condo complex and which unit they live in.

Information on my car such as License Plate number, VIN, the type of oil it takes, what part number each of the tail lights is. The type of battery the key fob uses. The part number for the cabin air filter. And what type of car wax I use.

My SiriusXM radio codes and instructions on how to reset the radio.

My printers and the cartridges they take.

Bowling notes and bowling ball specs.

And jotting down temporary notes.

Windows has a notes app that does exactly what you stated.....I guess I don't understand why you'd use DU for these kind of notes.

I assumed "My Notes" were for keeping links on the specific topic that you are posting to on DU.

Obviously going to have to check it when I am sober. I take it that "My Notes" is not a specific note to the specific post? That's it's a universal type memo app?

Not sure what notes I want to make on a DU thread that I would want to keep track of. As my inscrutable friend in China used to say..."idea has no meaning".

You can open notes, hit the camera button -it will open camera, you can scan a document, article, any text whatever! This photo remains in your notes as pdf document. A real time saver to resend any signed documents back as pdf files.
