  Scott:

  Here is a compiled list of great free tools, some have been already
  mentioned. I have personally used every one of these tools for
  different
  reasons at different times. Currently I use Treepad and Cuecard. I
  used
  freemind when I was preparing for my lab, however, I found it hard to
  go
  back and "study" the mind-map. It didn't feel as intuitive as say,
  studying
  flash cards, or looking at an outline of notes w/ in-line drawings.
  Those
  are the three things I really need to study. A visual tool (dia) , a
  memorization tool (cuecard) , and an outline tool (treepad).

  Notes software:

  1. Freemind. Mindmapping software.
  http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
  2. iDailyDiary. Diary format notes software.
  http://www.splinterware.com/products/idailydiary.htm
  3. Keynote. Note taking software. No longer maintained, but available
  for
  download.
  http://www.tranglos.com/free/keynote.html
  4. Cuecard. Flashcard software. <-- always have used this real
  heavily.
  http://www.download.com/3000-2051-10075304.html
  5. Treepad. Excellent tree-based notes tool. <-- I use it now with
  drawings I export to jpg from dia.
  http://www.treepad.com/

  Diagram software

  1. Network Notepad
  http://www.networknotepad.com/
  2. Dia <-- preferred by me
  http://dia-installer.de/index_en.html
  3. Inkscape
  http://www.inkscape.org/
