And that's their problem. With a notepad there's no distractions and you can also annotate more easily, and a notebook is so much easier to browse than a load of random files. There's going to be some personal preference or generational thing but operating a device while allegedly focusing (or listening to music at the same time ) means you're not 100% concentrating. I defy anyone to sit and actually get in the 'zone" of a problem for even 30mins in front of a computer without at some point doing or looking at something else. Given the type of problems you see here Derek, I'm not sure even operating a pencil at the same time as thinking is a good idea.Derek27 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:51 amNobody uses pen & paper anymore;)ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:33 amThe first thing you want to do is switch off your PC and actually write down EXACTLY what you want it to do;
Firlandsfarm knows what I mean a whole different bunch of synapses start firing once you stop diddling around on your computer. We've only got 8-bit brains, it's why when people think really really hard they even close their eyes to try and reduce the inputs.
The problem I have with pen & paper, firstly, it takes half-an-hour to find a pen and an unneeded piece of paper to write on, and secondly, my handwriting is now barely readable - it's so long since I put pen to paper besides ticking boxes.

That's the problem
I was hunting for a pencil myself the other day and found this one.... google says the last time a telegram was sent was in 1981 ! For the youngsters, a 'telegram' was a text message delivered by a lad in a smart uniform I think it's from the first place I did some coding for, jeez time flys .

Didn't meant to be patronising, it was just meant as a general guide. I've seen from your other postings you're definately no beginnner when it comes to trading and I'm sure you could teach me a thing or two about that. tbh there's enough people here with enough niche knowledge to make a pretty decent syndicate, it always feels like a job that's too big for one person especially when you spend half your day trying to figure out what scribbled notes meant at the time .
I recognize also that the phone number is written as the named area and folowed by the three lines the company had - they must have been quite up and coming.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:01 pmThat's the problem

I received a telegram in 1994 or thereabouts, in the form of a printed letter. I was living in a bedsit without a phone so it was the only way anyone could contact me in an emergency. I feel really proud to have received one.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:01 pmThat's the problem

Before the fax we used a machine we called the Scandex - the sender wrapped the document around a cylinder and dialled the recipient's number where they would have some special paper wrapped around their own cylinder and at the same moment both would spin and at one end an optical reader would traverse slowly along the cylinder and at the other a nozzle traversed in a similar manner and would spit out some special ink onto the blank paper. This usually meant both sender and recipient were also in contact on another line - with the usual "ok i'm ready" etc and the frequent "oh no, the paper wasn't in properly- just let me get another sheet and have another go" etc. Of course only the trained could use it and only typists could type - everybody seemed to have a job in those days.
I remember in the late 80's phoning in advertisements to a magazine. Yes we we want right page, top right corner. Main header should be centred, bold and the font size...... When we got a fax it was a huge leap forward!
I make constant notes now but on an iPad and that can convert to text if needed. But I like to scribble and make notes. The iPad is perfect for rearranging them into some sense and I also transcribe when I'm out for a walk. How times have changed!
