I am using an iPad right now. My first choice would be good ol pen and paper. I use a at keyboard with computer at work because all of our client files are computerized. I remember when we wrote group and individual notes on paper. That takes me back a while and certainly dates me. Am glad I am on my way outand not on the way in. (at work I mean)
