    Yes - quick notes of numbers, names. It's easier when on the phone too - I find it hard to hold the phione and type at the same time. And for "quick sketches" the digital equivalent is just too much hassle.

          Yup, on my second log book. My 30th Propelling pencil. Much easier to scratch a circuit diagram on dead wood...

            Yes, and not just in the office. A paper notepad during meetings (mindmaps mostly), adding notes or comments to any printed material. Outside the office there is a moleskine for notes, and a "dry erase marker" on the toilet to write on the toilet-door. Any door is a whiteboard :)

                Yes, to mostly doodle. or when writing down stuff in a format that is more difficult to do on screen

                I'd rather be phishing!

                            As you get older it's important to stay active. All the people I know that have retired in front of the boob tube all died within a year.
