When I consider how lousy my handwriting is, how much longer it takes me to notate music by hand, and that I would have no easy way to check to see if I really got it down right, why would I want to do it by hand? Believe me, the singers in my little group really appreciate the arrangements I crank out using PrintMusic (a lowcost, stripped down version of Finale) over what I could do by hand.

As far as recording ideas that may strike me (yes, it's painful) when I'm away from my computer, I have a little digital recorder I keep in my purse where it's easy to get at. I can even safely use it while I'm driving, especially compared to trying to write while driving.
