Intro to Circa Rolla Atoma
Atoma from Belgium invented a disc for paper organization system. Rollabind put out a US version of the disc with a slightly different profile shape discand . Rollabind also put a US Patend on the disc. Lenvenger got the license, perfected the method in their line call Circa. In an attempt to save some money and test out the system. I've combine the two lines of products. I call it Circa Rolla. This lens is about my research into the use of disc and other's opinions.
I use mainly the Rollabind portable puncher and Rolla notebooks. I purchase my Rolla Notebooks at the local Staples store. This saves me on shipping cost. I had to mail order my Portable Puncher from Rollabind.com because Staples does not carry the puncher. I didn't want to invest too much money on a new system. This is my way of testing it out before I can splurge. So far, I have like this system of organization.
Update:
1/11/07 Thursday. I got a nice pleasent email from Rollabind Stephanie.
Dear Duc,
I came across your page an I found it very informative. I work with the founder of Rollabind and it is always great to find people who understand and appreciate the system as we do. Please let us know if you have any questions about our products...
Best Regards,
Stephanie

Circa Notebooks - A How-To
The basics of circa-punched paper : How to insert and remove pages Listening to some of the folks on http://www.diyplanner.com/ and elsewhere, I realized that the actual function of Circa (the perforated pages gripping onto the discs) was sometimes difficult to visualize. Several times customers have asked me, "So how do you open the rings?" ;) I thought that by posting this video it might help educate those curious that might not be able to visit a Levenger retail store to test the system first-hand.

- duc,
Thanks for pulling this lens together. I'm and avid fan of the Circa/Rollabind systems and I was not aware that Staples carried a line of notebooks called Rolla. I'll have to check them out.
