[Pazuzu]

I can't just wander onto my bosses computer and find some paperwork for a project like I can do with a central filing cabinet. I also can't take digital files and stick them all over my office walls, write on them, draw on them, annotate them like I can with big sheets of actual printed paper.

Now, we do archive lots of data electronically (I'm talking hundreds of terabytes), but that's all on digital tapes. We have zero faith in spinning disks here, even my office desktop is a RAID system with weekly backups to 2 different external drives that get locked away during the week...and I barely have any actual "project" stuff on my local drives, mostly just proposals, etc.
