Do you consider the logging computer an "Accessory"?  I ask, because 
having the right keyboard location/setup and the right laptop can really 
make an effect in your Q rate, if you log on a computer... and I can't 
imagine logging on paper at 4 Q's a minute or faster...

What do you like?  Personally I've found that I like RoverLog.  Simple 
one-handed operation (if necessary) and while there are extras/frills 
available, the design is obviously written around simplicity for the 
basic task of logging first, and then the frills are treated as add-ons 
in separate windows, etc.

Free (well, everyone using it should send a donation) isn't bad either!
