I have kept written logbooks ever since I went solo in a glider when I was 16. They are a personal record of your life and are so precious and irreplaceable. If you think that keeping a written logbook is a pain in the ar*e then you have no real love for flying.
An airline once lost my baggage for six weeks when coming back home from an overseas contract. All of my logbooks were gone! I felt like I had lost a limb and it was such a relief when they finally appeared again.
They are also so useful for settling arguments in the pub. When did such and such happen and who were you with and where were you at the time for example.
Don't give up writing guys (even if you can't spell!!!) - you will regret it when you get older!
