Always tradeoffs |
The cost of a P.C. over the lifetime of mags it could hold, (100,000+), would be insignificant compared to the cost of the hardcopy on all counts. Take your lappie with you and the index could link you to an issue/article/phrase from 10years back. Try that with Hardcopy!

Apart from that... I get impatient especially when I need to find info.
