Seconded. Paper is underrated and a good bump off letting the monitor direct your every action which lets one disengage too much sometimes. Some, like me, learn/memorize much better from writing things down than from just reading them or even typing them. Paper is easier to work with off-line too. It has no battery and you can drop it without ruining your quarter. I hang docs and specs behind my monitor; binder-clips and tacks. I put "Post-it"s on my monitor frame or on the glass if it's something I must not put off. They're supposed to be gone by the end of each day.
