I continue to be baffled by some people's aVersion to taking notes on a piece of paper. It's so much easier than alt-&ltTab&gting back and forth, and not that difficult to keep organized.

I only use Notepad for things that I plan to copy & paste somewhere else, such as a story thread like History of the Galaxy II {link}.

Using Word to take notes is like watering your garden with a firehose.

Actually, it is easier...at least for me.

For example, just entering a difficult spelled planet means I have to move to the right of my computer (my desk is L shaped), enter the name, go back to the computer to look at the name again and then go back to my notes to make sure I spelled it correctly. My spelling ability is good, but it fails me with respect to planets/systems.
