I must say that computers, in spite of their many benefits, have had an

notebook to write new kanji. I'd look up examples in the dictionary and

Now, I use a lookup method to bring the character up in my computer
dictionary and drag and drop the info into a note file. I find I am
writing less and less kanji.
