Smile Pen and paper or computer?

Hi all..
When writing stories (either for fun, publication, both, or for school work) do you feel more comfortable getting it down on paper first (literally) or do you enjoy typing your text into a computer software program such as Microsoft Word?
i prefer pen and paper .... what about you ?

I'd much rather use a computer. Often when I write my brain gets ahead of my hand and I skip letters!

Definitely PC, 'cos I type quicker than I write. Plus its easier to correct or edit afterwards.

Used to be pen and paper but I only use that for spider diagrams now (or thought/mind/brain maps if you like the term). I use a computer for all my writing now, i guess it comes down to the ease of archiving/transportation (easier to carry a laptop with hundreds of pages than ther hundreds of pages). Though on long pieces I always use paper for the final edit as it is easier to compare sections and review a complete piece (especially on a 130,000 word story).
