At least paper can still beat rock.

The hype surrounding the paperless office has even spread as far as MIT Press on that there Internet. Others, though, are more optimistic about banishing pesky paper: DEVONtechnologies has updated two flavors of DEVONthink Pro so you can find electronic homes for all those dead-tree bits you might otherwise print during your day.

As someone whose cubicle walls are lined with paper, I’ve been using the plain-Jane version of DEVONthink for a few months now, to plan work-related things: Important Meetings, Vital Documents, and General Miscellaneous Items to name a few. Seeing a typical day’s tasks compressed into a few color-coded folders helps make my work more manageable but I wouldn’t go so far as to call DEVONthink my “second brain” if only because I just like having a hard copy for better editing. And my original brain’s very sensitive about being upstaged.
