Can I get anything for the Mac that functions just like Microsoft's OneNote? I really love this program in that it makes note taking a lot easier when I'm in class. I only boot up to Windows just for this. I figure if I get a Mac alternative, I'll just get iWork 08 for my word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation needs and not have to deal with pesky file sharing between two platforms. But I need a program that can convert all the notes that I've already taken and import them to its own library.
Got a tip for us?

Good notetaking program?

lots of options, but they might not work for you:
Circus ponies' notebook
aquasoft's notetaker
word's notebook layout
Are the first ones that come to mind to me. The first two have demos for
sure and acedemic pricing too.

I'm a fan of MyNotes mainly because it doesn't have a bunch of functions that I don't need and it organizes notes quite nicely.
Well, everyone here has posted good technological suggestions (as this is what the OP wanted), but I'm going to take the road not traveled by.
Since writing with a pen/pencil improves memory retention and helps keep you focused on the lecture (tell me with a straight face that you never navigate away from your word processor), wouldn't it be better to write your notes at least some of the time? I do this a lot, as it makes it easier to remember important information. I just have some experience with this (using both methods) so I'm just giving you an honest tip. If you prefer typing (and I know why; typing is a LOT faster and hurts less after long lectures), then just go with what you like. Any of the choices presented here would be great

Buzz kill.
I know, but not everyone can be the "good" guy. BTW, I find your signature particularly interesting
