Specialties can be anything from a topic (i.e. pets, weddings, car insurance) to a type of writing (i.e. press releases, eBooks, web content) and the general consensus seems to be that people who specialize have an easier time [...]

I realized that I have been keeping a secret from all of you. Or maybe you all knew about my favorite note taking program before I did and were keeping it a secret from me. Nonetheless, today I want to make sure that the whole world knows about Microsoft OneNote.
