I have discovered, before the recent studies, that when I take paper notes during anything, I remember the meeting/lecture/whatever quite well.
So I use paper notes as a backup, but as someone else noted, good old fashioned Brain 1.0.
But when that isn't enough, paper files are good for formal stuff.
On the computer, well, it's kind of a disaster. Gmail has helped here. But there is no compelling note organization system. And I'm not sure you'd want one, I think we've learned is that 'findability' is the most important feature, and organization isnt the only way to achieve that.
