What are you talking about? I store recipes in my computer, and routinely look them up on Google.

The spirit of GWBasic lives! How do you view them when you're cooking? Do you print them from your home computer or do you use a mobile screen?
Some are Word documents that I view on my phone. (Via OneDrive).

My turkey recipe is a PDF that I print out two copies of when I prepare the turkey. My hands get messy (and unsanitary) when I follow it, so I don't want to handle my phone.

(In case you're curious: When I called up a BBS for the first time as a teenager, I didn't realize that I had to make up a name for myself. My GWBasic manual was sitting in front of me, so I just called myself GWBasic and really liked the name. At the time, GWBasic was very obsolete, so most people didn't get the reference.)
