When I was in high school my writing teacher insisted that I use longhand for all compositions. I hated her for it at the time, however in the long run I came to realize that her method actually served a purpose. No matter how much of a computer addict you are, there will always be times where there is no substitute for clear, legible writing. Thanks to her instruction whenever I visit a trade show/seminar I can read my notes after the event is over.
