I admit I hadn't considered using paper quite so big. I also should
say that I really don't like arguing, but I feel I should clarify
some things:

Some people feel like prototyping with a computer discourages
changing your mind about a particular layout or interaction.

I don't feel that way. It's a lot easier for me to click on
something and press "Delete" than erase with a pencil, or worse,
start the whole page over on a new piece of paper. Boy, do I hate
duplicating effort.

All that being said, I do enjoy using a whiteboard when I'm _just
starting to generate ideas_ as a part of a group who is in the room
with me. Overall, I think HTML prototypes are a better use of my
time, and I feel like I'm still able to remain loose and open.

Regarding the admittedly less important argument over wasting
electricity: it's likely that your computer is going to be running
whether you're paying attention to it or not, so I figure I might as
well be paying attention to it. If you have the discipline to turn off
the electronics when focusing on paper, then that's awesome.
