For those of you still using Notepad (a great program by the way), just know there are much better free alternatives out there. My personal favorite is EditPad Lite ([http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html]) which offers unlimited text size, tabbed documents, line numbering and many other options Notepad doesn’t have.

For you programmers, be sure to check out jEdit ([http://www.jedit.org/]) for a more full featured (but slower) text editor. It offers syntax highlighting, FTP options, and tons of search/replace features. Since jEdit is built of off Java, it can be run on any platform.
