I agree. I've never quite got comfortable with Tomboy after having
used Evolution for my notes for such a long time. But that's beside
the point.

A PC that only has a CD drive might still be very useful. If the user
has internet access, then software can be easily installed. If the user
only has a CD drive and does not have internet access, then it does
not make sense to spend CD space on things like remote desktop
clients, P2P software or maybe even an email client. However, an
application for taking notes might be very useful.

Perhaps other things should be removed before Tomboy?
