One of the reasons I use pen an paper is just due to logistics. The kitchen
and laundry are on the first floor, the computer is on the third floor. So
I'm normally on the first floor when I discover things running low, I'd like
to have something close by to record the shortage. If I waited until I got
up to the third floor, I might forget! ;-)

There's really no room on the first floor for a computer (laptop or
desktop), so that really isn't an option.
