Is the pen truly mightier?
Normally, I carry around my laptop to every meeting and use it to take notes so everything's already stored there. Then I can just go through and clean them up or look at them in more detail later on just on the computer. But yesterday since I had to walk across the street, I decided to just carry some pieces of paper and take notes on that when I met with folks and it was strangely liberating. I feel like I've broken free of the yoke of my laptop and returned to the roots of good ol' pen and paper.
Then again, I'm on my laptop again now. :)

So when will you be mailing out your blog newsletter? Didn't think so... :)
And hey, I have to make that walk with my laptop all the time. It's very rare for a PM or engineer to come the other way. I'm surprised you caved!
that's what makes me a cool PM :)
i'm up for receiving some letters :) send 'em on over!
I went to a meeting where I had to transcribe interview notes by hand. Thought it was going to be OK - then 30 handwritten pages later, I really wished I had my laptop.
Um, yeah, 30 pages...
How about just a digital recorder that you can stick right next to voice recognition software? :)
