I trust preferring PDF documents doesn't make folks like me "paper
haters" I keep a notebook around for many of the same reasons, and one
is in my travel backpack as well. In addition, I print out portions of
datasheets at times, because it can be easier to handle large multi-page
tables, etc. I like paper, I love the fact PDF can give me paper output
if needed, electronic if I do not.
Yep. As I've said many times before, I'll use
a CAD system when it
actually aids me in designing something (as opposed to hindering me,
which most seem to). Until then, I'll use a 'Paper Aided Dasign' system,
more commonly called a 'PAD' (of paper :-)). I design by sketching out
My experience is the opposite. I can lay out much faster on CAD than on
paper.

calculator (and beofre
anyone askes, I have scheamtics, machine language instruction set, and
