Deffo - n o doubt about it in my book - I have been paperless, used
Lloyd George and A$ - paperless is best - if you have a decent IT
system that is.

I touch type - I know the keystrokes for lots of actions - so I talk
and maintain eye contact and enter records all at the same time - try
doing that as the lloyd george explodes on the floor and you fumble for
results and you look down to write!

Why wasted in entering? - should be almost as quick as writing if not
faster - do not duplicate paper and electrons (have never seen sense of
this). A computerised record should be clear and present you with all
you need to know *before* the punter even enters the room - sounds
pretty time efficient to me :)

Yes - the above - and stick with it. What system do you use? Learn
all short cuts - such as isq, bp, better, worse, letter, etc
Cheers :)

Lloyd George, kiss your ass goodbye!
