I actually coded with a pen and paper once because I was in school and suddenly I came up with an idea for my site, so I had to write it down so I won't forget it when I come back home.

The cheeziest way was with TSO. The sleaziest was in the john.

I still write code sometimes on my good old Commodore 64, in good old Basic V2, with line numbers the lot.

Pen and paper for an old TSR-80 computer with no hard drive. Programs could be saved on a cassete tape, but had to be coded somewhere first. There were entire books of hardcopy programs that you would enter in manually to run.

My code....I print out my current code, and modify it anywhere I go.

I code on with pencil and paper all the time. Mostly just pseudo-code, but sometimes full out.

And I print code to proof read as well. You just simply cannot proof something on screen like you can with paper. Especially for very long routines that span pages. The split screen thing helps, but not a lot when you need to see half a dozen spots at 1 time across as many pages.

A few quick circles and notes, and I'm ready to get back to the computer.

nothing like using pencil and paper to code a program so you can sit down at the keypunch machine to create your card deck so you can feed them into the card reader to compile your program.
