WOW! Really? I wondered if people like you still exist!

Yep, we do...does it surprise you even more that I am only 31 (and not opposed to technology in any other facet of my life)? I really am a very visual person and having it on paper in front of me is much more helpful than on a little screen. I really love my newest notebook...I got it at Border's (I am also the person who on that thread wants to move into a bunker if libraries cease to exist) and it is really pretty. The calendar I use is just a smaller one from Staples.

I'm with you, OP! I use a wall calendar and a little pocket calendar and notebook. Of course, I'm still not terribly organized, but no gadget is going to get me there!

YAY -- so nice to know I am not alone!!!
