For those of us that are incapable of using just a simple pencil and paper to keep track of your "detective notes" while playing clue, here’s an OmniOutliner template with pop-up lists for checking off whether you have it, or one of the other players — all six player names are included for completeness, or replace them with the actual names of the people you’re playing against.

SITM (and several of my other websites) are now back online. They were off for a couple of weeks due to a leaking pipe in our house that was flooding the wall next to all my computer and video equipment, not to mention the master jack for the FiOS connection to my house.
