[IxDA Discuss] Back to Basics

[Brett Williams]

Jack, sounds very eerily similar . . . are you me???

Also, Sajid, I disagree . . . My ideas flow very fast with pencil &  
paper (faster then using computer - although I absolutely am a Grade  
A expert computer user) . . . especially with brand new concepts, its  
almost like there is nothing at all hindering the creative flow from  
my brain to the paper . . . whereas using computer-based tools, there  
are movements, clicks, selections, sizing, shaping, etc. . . . the  
end product will look "cleaner" using computer-based tools, but I  
don't use that as my first step.

Regards,

bw
