Going Paperless in 2009

In an effort to reduce the amount of clutter I have around my "home office" (read: the bed in my dorm room), boost my productivity, and perhaps in some small way help the environment, I've decided to go entirely paperless for the entire semester. Shoddy Photoshop job above not related.
By "paperless," of course, I mean to the extent that a college student can do so. For instance, if I were to have to submit a hard copy of an assignment, paper would be involved—as big a tragedy as that is. In the same vein, if I were to receive printed material from a professor, the ideal course of action would be to immediately head to my dorm room, scan the object into OneNote, and promptly recycle the document.
In an effort to make this process easier, several organizations are jumping on board. First, I'm using a Lenovo X60 Tablet PC on loan from the Information Systems department of Wake Forest University—that's really what kicked off this whole revolution. Next, the kind folks at PlanOn System Solutions are sending me one of their handy DocuPen hand-held scanners to test drive. Stay tuned for a full review.
I'll keep updating as things progress. It'll be interesting to see if I can last the entire semester by keeping up with this system.
I just hope Wake Forest doesn't decide to go paperless with my diploma...
