[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] just thought that you would want to know

[Bill Passman]

I used to use a spiral notebook for everything.
I was the only one at work who could go back and review decisions and
meeting notes.
A few years ago I switched to using an Excel worksheet with tabs for each
subject.
Easy to search and keep notes more organized, per subject, than the
notebook.
