OS X 10.5 Stickies
Stickies is a simple note taking application that has been included on every Mac since 1994.

The current version looks almost identical to the version that was released in 1994, however it has gained a huge amount of new functionality over the past few years.
If you aren't familiar with Stickies, you'll find it in the Applications folder. Once opened, it will display a number of differently coloured "notes". You can write in each of these, and any that you leave open when quitting will still be there next time you open up Stickies.
Stickies Tip - Make Stickies float above all windows


With the note you want to float selected, press Command-Option-F. This will cause the Sticky note to appear above all other windows no matter which application you are in. This is great if you are switching between multiple windows and application while writing or referring to a single sticky note. If you can't remember this keyboard shortcut, you'll find the command in the Note menu.


Stickie  Tip  -  Make  your stickie  Translucent


 
You can make a stickie translucent, choose the note and Press Command-T.
