RIP Stickies?

[Ein]

Apparently when I got my Macbook in December 2007, I was foolish enough to delete Stickies from my Application. I don't particularly remember doing such a thing, but I probably would.

I decided that Stickies would be helpful, so I decided to re-download it from my OS:X CDs/DVDs. The application isn't on either CD, and I used a program called Pacifist to look for the individual application. Nothing.

Is there any way to get Stickies back?

Yes. Do an Archive & Install of your current Mac OS using the installation discs.

I don't know why you can't find it with Pacifist. It's in the Applications folder - /Applications/Stickies.app.

There is also a Stickies Widget in Dashboard.

Yes - good point. However, I am damned if I can find a way of cutting and pasting between my desktop and Dashboard Stickies.

Though that's definitely just not the same thing. Real stickies are in-your-face. Much better.

Control-C, Control-V works just fine for me with text. Or is this not what you mean?

I have the dashboard Widget, but I can't be arsed to go to dashboard for reminders. I went back to Pacifist and didn't see it, and I'm without an external HD to use time machine, so Archive/ Install will have to wait. I'll go stickie-less for a while I suppose.

Archive & Install does not require Time Machine, nor does it require any kind of backup to be able to actually archive your existing system and install a new one.
