I wholeheartedly agree.
We had these things called RedBooks at MetaDesign in SF. A huge library of notes, sketches, diagrams and final work etc from each project. There is something about the tangability of a physical book when you want to retrieve information thats just much more intuitive than having some complex structure on some hard disk somewhere. It's simply the wrong way to use computers.
The force of digitalizing information is the ability to retrieve contextual information from a fuzzy collection of knowledge.
