NOTE: But why can't I just set up note cards on my computer?

1. It can be done, however, writing is doing, and is a hugely effective reinforcement for learning, and writing with a pen on paper is a stronger form than on the computer.
2. You will want to have these cards available to you at times when your computer is OFF.
3. When concentrating on say creating a website, having the info to the side rather than flipping back and forth will help keep you focused on the task at hand.
