I'm a low Hours PPL whom has the use of a lap top for my occupation in the IT industry. Whereas I can go to page so and so of a manual and read it (i dont suddenly lose the ability to read), if a lap top decides to give up the ghost (which mine does with monotonous regularity for no reason what-so-ever) you cant get the information required because an embedded windows system ocx file has been corrupted by the addition of a new piece of software etc etc etc.
Much prefer the good old paper, I still see an abundance of bookshops out there so can only conclude everyone feels the same.
One hopes the use of a lap top would be for admin only and banned from the flight deck for obvious reasons!!
