That is good. I do still use it. I find paper faster and
easier for some look-ups.
As an aside:
I am working on my BCS. I had a course last fall where for the
final, the instructor was considering allowing us to use laptops
(though no Internet connectivity would be allowed). He put it to a
class vote. After some discussion with some nasty comments, the yea
side "won".
I live two blocks from the university. I have a desktop
system. I have a USB drive for sneakernet. What do I need a laptop for?
Well, we were allowed to bring whatever reference material we
wanted. I brought three textbooks.
<drumroll> I spoke with the instructor not long after. He said
that the students who did not use laptops generally did better and
that I got the only A+.
I have been trying to figure out why we paper-lovers did better.

Someone is behind ME?
