I also use a 3x5 pocket briefcase in my pocket for on the run notes. I think technology has missed the direct input impulse of the act of writing something down on paper, and the more technological we get, we still don't trust the virtual backups of data and keep lots of paper records still. It is still quicker and more enjoyable to write a note with pencil and paper. My system of 3x5's, ipod touch for appts/audio/photo/video recording seems the best of both worlds (I'm a sculptor who is being dragged into the digital world slowly....).
