Experience on which?
Doing the inventory or doing it on computer?
I did my inventory on computer.  I started doing it on paper...in the big 
book way.  But, I put it aside (procrastination) and it disappeared.  Paper 
usually does that around here.
So, at the prompting of a friend, now my sponsor.....I did it by computer.
The format didn't follow the big book....it went to free form points, and I'd 
jump about as things came to mind.
I shared bits of my inventory electronically.....some of it before doing
step 5, some of it after.  But, I did do a step 5 with another human 
being.....boy was that a great feeling....at least for a short while, because 
I stopped progressing and things got crazy again.
I have it encrypted somewhere on my harddrive(s)......but my mind doesn't let 
me forget if I should try.  I had an inventory dream a couple weeks ago.
I dreamed that I was getting an evaulation by Email....which turned into my 
inventory (from a different prespective)....what a scary dream that was.
There were some things that I was in a perpertual put it off to next month or 
so....well I decided that moring during my prayer and meditation that the
answer was to do those things today.
While things haven't gotten significantly better, at least I have done those 
things.....
