What do you prefer: write with pen and paper or directly in computer?

Hey everyone! This is another of dilemmas which much writers have, for that, I decided to make this question because I want to know what is your opinion about it.

In my opinion, I prefer write with pen and paper – specifically a notebook – because I think is easier write the ideas and easier concentrate, because when I'm in the computer I distract much (the internet, the aplications and other things more – you know) but, that yes, I rewrite in the computer becase is necessary for send my manuscript at the editorials or agents.

Yeah - the internet is the worst!!!!!

I still write on a laptop, though, because my handwriting often turns out illegible, even to me. When I first edited my first book I couldn't read half the handwritten corrections on the printout. So now I tend to do that on-screen, too :)
