Rav Elyashiv holds that it’s not okay. I don’t think anyone holds like this though. R’ Elyashiv holds that a computer counts as real writing and thus any Divrei Torah or Shem Hashem written on a computer cannot be erased-i.e. the screen can never be changed or shut off. (I don’t know if this was published anywhere, I heard this from a big Rov who discussed the issue with R’ Elyashiv at length.)
