Digital drafting
What do we think, come Saturday, the fourteenth of April, of a draftee, positioned neighborhly around Mr. Moore's dining room table, keeping score of each trenchant move, not with pen and paper, or calculator, but a laptop? An affront to tradition? To good sportsmanship? To Berkeley aesthetics? Actually, Peter, do you have WiFi in the house? That, I can see, could create a certain unfair advantage for those with laptops over those without. I am game to bring mine if all agree the computer doesn't create an uneven playing field. Or, of course, glad to leave it at home. Shall we discuss?

I don't think a laptop is an unfair advantage since for many purposes paper is more manageable and convenient. I concede I have thought about going the spreadsheet route.... I think it would be fine.
We do have wireless but I'm afraid I can't let you have the password.
First there is the space issue. Then there is the time issue. I fear the unfettered use of the internet will drag things out unbearably as each player thrown out will be subject to "Wait a second while I call up the stats"
Cider House Rules. It's Peter's cider house.
