[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by baldwinjl [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy I still prefer pencil & paper. It's cheap, effective, and doesn't need to be plugged in! [/quote] You must sell erasers! I'd be broke from buying them if I went this way! [/quote] Well, despite the fact that I basically live at my computer, I still have a pad or book of 5mm graph paper (5 to the inch for you gosh darn 'mericans) in front of me all day, and I still keep my lab and/or bench notes in a hand written notebook, usually in pencil following the habits of over 30 years. Even when I am using the very latest in 3D or solid modelling programmes, or some truly monumental simulation or modelling package I will often work things out on paper more so than on screen. One thing that really ticks me off these days is that it is rather hard to get notebooks with old fashioned ruling any more. For many years I used an imperial size which is about 12 3/4 x 8 inches, faint blue ruled on watermarked wove paper. Ideal for handwriting. Sadly I cant buy them anywhere any more, but at least in Canada I can get nicely bound A4 size notebooks instead of those strange little 8 1/2 x 11 things I had to put up with living in the US! (Sorry folks!) And on the subject of erasers, doesn't anybody sell gum erasers (the crumbly pale browbn ones) these days? I haven't seen anythingother than vinyl in recent years. Or do I need to look in the UK next time I am there? John
