Stickies – sticky notes - Post-it notes are pieces of paper stationery with a re-adherable strip of adhesive on the back, designed for temporarily attaching notes to documents and other surfaces. They are now available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes - most commonly they are 3-inch (76 mm) square, canary yellow in color. A unique low-tack adhesive allows the notes to be easily attached and removed without leaving residue.
Post-it notes were invented by 3M's Art Fry, using an adhesive developed by a colleague, Spencer Silver. Until the 1990s, when the patent expired, they were produced only in the 3M plant in Cynthiana, Kentucky. Although other companies now produce sticky or repositionable notes, most of the world's Post-it Brand notes are still made in Cynthiana. The term "Post-it" and the canary yellow color are registered trademarks of 3M. "Sticky Note", likewise, is a trademark of Société Bic. Generic terms for competitors include "repositionable notes" and "repositional notes". Spencer Ferguson Silver an American chemist together with Arthur Fry, invented Post-it notes in 1970.Working on modern day svelte computers gives you greater confidence and makes you feel happy…….but there are times when you struggle transporting data … again life is on faster track from the old 1.44 floppy disks to 700 MB CDs to 4 GB DVDs to minisized multi GB thumb drives … you have them all .. still for some finding the USB port and transferring it is arduous… and how good it would be if saving data on the media is as easy as sticking a note on the screen ? ……… that is a near possibility … design of paper-thin, sticky memory cards.Transferring Data : Data Sticks to Data That Sticks ....

In initial days Computers were demon – occupying so much of space – those who could use it would threaten everybody else… and people had to remove their footwear when entering computer rooms !!! … IBM sold the first IBM PCs in configurations with 16 or 64 kB of RAM ~ "IBM Personal Computer XT", IBM's model 5160, was an enhanced machine that was designed for diskette and hard drive storage, introduced two years after the introduction of the "IBM Personal Computer". It had eight expansion slots and a 10 MB hard disk (later versions 20 MB). Life has come a very long way …. Ordinarily mobiles come with a 4GB memory card !!!!
