I do the same thing.  Right now it's just too much stuff I'm cramming into 
my little car to be active on 8 to 10 bands as a single op portable.  I 
forsake the laptop computer and log onto paper logs.  Then when I get home 
Sunday evening after the contest, I put everything into a CT log and 
generate the Cabrillo log to send to ARRL.  

CT is now free to download and use, and it's the computer prpgram I "cut 
my teeth on" for contest logging.
