I so hear you! I have to have my computer and my Blackberry at all times. Anything that I do not put on these two deveiss usually gets lost in the heaps of paper I have everywhere. I do not have enough hours in my day to write notes and then transfer them on to my computer later so that I will be able to save the files.

There are so many that still seem to think these gadgets are distractions rather than learning tools.
