Now that I've found my perfect e-book management software (= Calibre), I've started looking for my perfect note organizer. I spent literally quite hours googling, reading and downloading, and I am still not there.

So I thought perhaps someone here could share his/her solution (WinXP compatible) or recommend me some good forums to ask about it.

I don't think I have high expectations but they're quite specific, especially in terms of notes' structure.

I'd like to have a tree-like stucture with categories, subcategories etc. and in the same time the possibility to add tags and search for them. Most apps offer onde of these approaches only. I would need to view notes chronologically as well (a little calendar, where you can click on the day and see all notes created/modified in a given day, would be just perfect).

There should be some way to get the notes synced on two computers (e.g. a portable app stored in Dropbox, or regular app with notes being stored in Dropbox). Plus, the application should be light.

It would be nice (but not necessary) to be able to add some attachments to the notes (or have some workaround with links to the files on the hard drive), and to link one note to another.

I don't care about formating features.

I would prefer software that is free of charge but would consider paying provided that I could test the application before making a decision.

I'm sorry if it is a wrong place to ask, and I would appreciate any help.
