When they commented that there were tools like Visio

to tell them that Visio (which is installed on one of my machines)
only helps with drawing, not with thinking.
And in the case of electronics design

tend to get innundated with "Two output pins on one net" and similar design
check errors rather quickly.
There is just something about pencil to paper that

flow.
Same here. I really need to find somewhere that stocks logic design and
electronic design templates, though. Most of the local stationers don't stock
them and couldn't get them either, which is a bit of a pain. ISTR Tandy
(RadioShack) used to sell them, but they're long gone now...
Later.
