Excellent! To the cloud :)

Thanks Max for your comment and encouragement! And best wishes with your project - the process of automating repetetive document drafting seems a hot topic right now. Whoever gets it right will definitely be onto something. Best regards.

Thanks for the heads up. I've already gotten my 50 GB for downloading the app to my Playbook!

Great point. When I buy new products now, I don't even keep the manual as they're all available online. So I don't even think you need to pre-download and save them; just download them when you need them (unless it's something you're referring to frequently).

Loving your blog, and good luck on the journey to paperless! I believe when you find a rhythm that works for you, it'll be well worth it and a breath of fresh air.

I'm actually working on a project called Ridacto that's aiming to help paperless attorneys create more bulletproof legal contracts using artificial intelligence. I hope it can help tech-savvy attorneys like you work smarter and create better quality results for your clients.

Thanks for sharing your journey and advice!

Hey Chris! Thanks for the great post. No doubt I am a big advocate of shiny web tools but your point is well taken - use any of these tools in moderation, not for the sake of the tool, but for the sake of their best use in your practice. Nothing will completely replace real world interaction and human oversight of automated processes, IMHO. I think you have achieved a great blend of the virtual and the real. Most importantly, it works for you. Thanks as always for your insight.

Thanks Neil - apps like these are the ones that really make tablets more attractive than laptops for professional use. And I am a note app junkie for sure.

I like Notability too. I have to admit, I haven't pinned myself down to a single note-taking app - there are great features in many of them, and some of them seem to have better stylus sensitivity than others.

Cool. And for just note-taking, have you tried Notability? It has some great features like the ability to add graphics (including photos of the board) and record the voice of the speaker. And at least temporarily it's only 99 cents.

You should try DocuSign Ink. It's way easier to use and more secure.

Hello Ms. Sperry, I saw your post about West's Drafting Assistant and wondered if you have now had the opportunity to use the product. If so, I was curious as to your impressions.

Re: OneNote To Be Microsoft’s First Foray On To iPad!

Martha S — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 10:52:42 -0000

I like the visual interface - much simpler - and integration with other Office products and SkyDrive. But I use Evernote too and like it very much as well. I started with OneNote, so I do have a certain fondness born of nostalgia. Either works great though - ultimately comes down to preference.

Why OneNote instead of Evernote?
