I'm "old fashioned" like you. A three ring binder (well several) for all my recipes, notes and research. Everything is right there at my fingertips when I need it. :mrgreen:
I use a binder, too, with plastic sheet protectors in case of spills or splatters.
I design and store my recipes in SoapMaker, but it's mostly paper for the work room. Though now I have a tablet/2-in-1 that will run SoapMaker, so I might take it in there with me sometimes.
