I hardly use my phone book at the office, I use the telecom whitepages (crap tho their search engine is), I look up legislation online, I looked up Australian bankruptcy law online recently. I established the status of an Australian company (as being in liquidation), I downloaded High Court and Court of Appeal judgments relevant to a case, I emailed scanned documents to clients to review that would have taken a day or so to get there by mail or been unreadable by fax, I registered titles to clients' houses into their name within 30 minutes of paying for them (rather than waiting 3 weeks for paper registration to go through, with the ensuing dangers of delay in registration), I have booked airfares from Edinburgh to Dublin without the intervention of a travel agent, I downloaded an application form for a passport so I could get to Edinbugh to use said tickets. All this week. I even communicated with some linux geeks!
