I tried now for some time a pure digital way. However, at least for me that
fails for two many reasons.
Thus, I'm looking to strike a balance between both ways trying to grep the
best from both sides.
Please let me add that in my personal opinion a iphone is not really a big
help. A device without keyboard is a real pain for note-taking. I tried it
with a keyboard based PDA. But even the simple task
to move it out of my bag,
switch it on,
move to the right buffer (I even used emacs + org-mode natively),
add the note,
switch it off,
and put it back in the bag,
was something which prevents me to use the PDA for smaller note taking tasks.
I guess a keyboard free system which requires you to carefully type letter for
letter on a silkscreen is even a more worse note-taking stopper.
However, this is only my opinion
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Best regards
Torsten
