Finally reason triumphed and I now just use my "smart phone" with a
"notes" app.

I, too, find a smart phone to be much more efficient. For example, it
allows me to lose* all my notes all at once, rather than slowly losing
them bit by bit. Ah, electronics!

(BTW, note the spelling. "Lose" is one of the most frequently
misspelled words in English - so much so that I briefly wondered if
other English-speaking countries spelled it differently.)
