One advantage of handwriting that I think (I may be mistaken) has not been mentioned so far in this thread is that recent American neurological research is reported to suggest that writing by hand engages deeper levels of the brain than typing does. So (it has been suggested) even if handwriting loses you speed, but it may improve understanding and articulacy.
