I have my Moms old wooden recipe box that I keep just because it was hers, but never use it. I have loose recipes that I have clipped, copied, etc., all in a messy stack that one of these days I think I'll just pitch out, as I've never used any of them. I do have cookbooks that have post-it notes sticking out at the top, some I've done, others maybe some day.

I made a cookbook about 20 yrs. ago and it has been a life-saver! Gave each child a cookbook and they actually use them!
I did it all on the computer and have recent recipes in the pockets of the cookbook. I also have a folder for new recipes I like and the family will eat.
Nothing is "fool proof," but this is a big help to me.
Had a friend of a friend make the cookbooks--copy, organize, ect. Cost $150 for the 3 extras for the kids and 1 for us, but it was worth it. He made a CD for each book, so it seemed cheap to me!

I have Living Cookbook on my computer. It is a purchased software package that is very good. I no longer have scraps of paper around. I can copy a recipe from the internet and then put it into the software - no writing It is great!

Back to the original question, I am a big collector of cookbooks and have lots of older ones and some newer ones. Recipes on scraps of paper and notebooks full of recipes I've printed from the internet. One thing I need to stop saying to my DH is this is I new recipe I wanted to try! He does not like "new" recipes. Meat and potatoes, with mushroom soup on top, best ever for him!

I have some written in the computer, but it's tough taking that into the kitchen.
Mostly they are in a book, hand written. Many are in my mother's beautiful hand writing, as she started it when I was a teenager.
