[NTLK] Newton-like note taking on Windows?

[Sonny Hung]

I just did a search for Nebo and the Windows page says it's Free for the
next 22 days. from the $8.99 normal pricing. I will try to download this
later tonight on my Windows 10 laptop I have at home and check it out too.

Here's the link I found it at:

God bless,
