Comments on: In Praise Of Paper http://www.webomatica.com/wordpress/2007/03/16/in-praise-of-paper/ Movie Reviews, iPhone App Reviews, and Tech Commentary by Jason Kaneshiro Mon, 22 Mar 2010 01:03:45 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rory http://www.webomatica.com/wordpress/2007/03/16/in-praise-of-paper/comment-page-1/#comment-6596 Rory Sat, 07 Jul 2007 06:19:21 +0000 http://www.webomatica.com/wordpress/2007/03/16/in-praise-of-paper/#comment-6596 I love to use paper - though I agree with your point about tediousness. It is tedious transferring an article I've written in a notepad on to a word processor. There is, however, a major pro I have recently discovered: You can write with one hand! Bear with me on this one... I have several reference books I use regularly which do not lie flat. It is much easier to hold them open with one hand while writing with the other. It helps to keep the flow going, and I find I can get almost a whole article written in one sitting. When I try to work at the computer, I need both hands to type - I have to keep opening and shutting the book with a marker in it, or keep it open with my elbow (actually, that doesn't work at all!). On a scale of tediousness, I would rather have the satisfaction of transferring a complete article into the Wordpress editor. Yay for paper!
