if i take notes all day on a tablet pc, plugging into an electrical outlet after about 2 hours (and then sucking coal-fueled electricity from an electrical socket the rest of the day), is that really more "green" than keeping things simple and taking notes with pen and paper?

i mean, going paperless is all the rage these days, but i'm not sold....

let's say i use 100% post-consumer recycled paper notepads, so i'm not supporting deforestation. wouldn't the carbon footprint be lower for using real paper than using CPU cycles?
