I tried "TextEdit" a little while ago, but it is nothing more than an elegant and slightly sophisticated version of "SimpleText". I saw the "Address Book", and think we needed something like that a long time ago so I give two thumbs up. However I am not going to take the Notepad absence lightly, and the fact that I had to start Classic in order to use the old one is not really sufficient for me.
The TV and phone are close to me, and I HATE writing paper stickies and sticking them to my computer like most people do (and I certainly am not going to fill my screen with those annoying stickies they do get on the way!), I rather write in the NotePad. My old NotePad had 44 pages! Everything I saw on TV 800 numbers (usually you write those in a hurry but with my trusty NotePad around who needs paper stickies?) and the ease I'd just flip through the pages and wrote WHATEVER I wanted in them (that's why the Address Book in OS X will never replace it). I was super addicted to it. I only really used "Stickies" for reminders and such. But the Notepad, I'd write phone numbers, adresses, links, etc without the need and time hazzle of having to place each line in its place (like in the Address Book) that's time consuming, with the NotePad all I needed to do was copy and paste and away I went. Someday Apple will completely drop support on the classic OS, it wont be like Winblows still works on top of DOS so its always there and as long as its like that it will always be present, no with this mac new interface someday the support will be gone completely. And that's very upsetting that's not the only time that Apple drops support on something still usable, it has always happened since the Apple II days, when the Mac came the Apple II was practically gone and forgotten.
