Leaning towards the keyboard

I think I agree that there is something more fluid about pen to paper.  Thought flow better and at a more pleasurable pace...... or something like that.  I remember what I wrote easily.

However, I can't necessarily find what I remember I wrote some 6 months ago when it is on paper.  (If I want to re-read, show to someone, copy, etc.)

Recalling and finding later are where typing into a computer excels.  I downloaded the Goggle Desktop Search.  It analyzes my hard drive and indexes everything.  Six months later when I want to bring up something I remember typing about a a particular subject, I just type a few key words, hit "search", and magically all the things I've written about that topic, all emails about that topic, etc. appear.  Its fast and easy.

I find myself leaning towards the computer now.
