    i like computer software instead. you can rig it anyway you want it. it figures everything for you. and it's not messy. there is even one program that comes with a gps so you don't have to keep track of where you are. and can still be rigged.

    they even have databases. so dot can hook up to the websight. or you can print.

    a lot of old timers don't like it. don't know why. i'd use it in a heartbeart. the heck with old fashioned writing. unless someone has a valid reason. i just don't see any advantage to looseleaf or whatever old fashioned form.

    technology for me. and the programs are only $60. with free updates.

    and if i remember right. one of them even has the actual company forms.

    I have no problem with technology, but will take loose leaf any day.

    I'm making the switch from paper to DDL for the iphone. No rulers needed.
