Has anyone gone back to paper?

I'm just back from a conference where I left my real GTD life behind and took some conference-specific projects and actions with me. My tools were a notepad, a pen and a highlighter.

I loved it and am considering migrating my GTD system back to paper.

If anyone here has abandoned an electronic system for a paper one, I would love to hear from you. I'm a bit apprehensive about the migration so I would appreciate hearing as wide a range of successes and failures as possible.

In the meantime, I'm going to work from some printouts so I can easily go back.

I've done it for conferences and workshops, up to 3 weeks at a time away from home. It works for me in that framework where most days are taken up with talks, discussions and engaged reflection, and only a few next actions are generated per day. However, it breaks down quickly in my actual life, where I have more to track, changing quickly.
