Here's a thought: take that computer that you just replaced with an upscale 
this-year's model and put it out in the workshop/garage. Cover the keyboard 
with Saran wrap to minimize grease and junk in the keys. Use it to store 
digital photos of your car as you disassemble it, keep your maintenance 
records, and cross-reference all your references and information with the part 
number and pdf page number. Presto, a complete working record of your 
restoration. If you hook it up to the internet, you can even order parts and put in 
queries on this list. And all of that can be done on any computer made in the 
last ten years, I think.
