A SwampNote can also be written on a computer. In this case the program Tinderbox (Eastgate Systems, Boston MA) allows a number of functions that can be used to a series of notes. A specialized search system can find groups of notes that contain text. This note was built with a prototype, a template that passes to each new note the attributes at the top. Attributes that are sets can also be searched by those key words. Notes can be linked to references, links to external web sites, or to other notes.  There are many other note programs on the web. Also applications for phones and note pads. However the process of observing, describing, writing and editing does not require a computer. Pencil and paper are sufficient and the process by itself, improves memory and expands associations to the original recorded data.
