  • The only maintenance required is a pencil sharpener
  • Requires no wiring, modem, or electricity
  • Can be carried easily in a pocket or purse
  • No password required
  • Rarely stolen, so no need for insurance
  • No parts other than the point to break, so no warranty necessary
  • Extremely affordable and available everywhere
  • Never freezes or requires more memory to be purchased
  • No training required and always user-friendly
  • Never requires a frustrating call to Tech Support
  • Have yet to write a blog with a pencil and have it just disappear
