Something I've just started using (since getting WIN7) is OneNote by Microsoft. It was loaded on the computer & is just great.
I've named one of the notebooks "Genealogy" and have folders for the main names, then pages for individuals. You can write stories, add pictures or scans. And side notes to anything. For instance, I came across a receipt from 1941 that was for the wedding rings & engagement rings that my father-in-law bought for his wedding. I've scanned that in, added a note about where the rings are now & what I did with the receipt. There is a pen mode for freehand writing & drawing...your can add audio & video files... really handy program. I use it for a lot of things.
