Note Taking Devices for Students?

Posted by Cliff on Friday August 20, 2004 @09:20AM from the save-the-trees dept.

Gavin Scott asks: "I'm looking for solutions for a college student who needs an inexpensive mechanism for note taking in class. She suffers from a condition that makes writing notes out by hand slow and painful. One of the small sexy sub-notebook computers would be ideal, but at $1,500-$2,500 these are completely out of reach budget-wise. She has a perfectly good desktop system at home, so something that simply allowed typing in notes that could then be transferred to the PC would be ideal. I've considered things like a Palm-type device with an external keyboard, but I'm interested in knowing what other options people might suggest. Or any opinions on what kind of lightweight almost-laptop devices are good in, say, the sub-$500 range?"

Note to you: I'd never buy hosting from someone who feels she has to flaunt her gender in promoting a business. I buy from people who are competent, not because they have tits.

So "competent" and "has tits" are now mutually exclusive, huh? ;)

Since you're complaining about his choice of word, you'd actually be a Vocabulary Nazi, not a Grammar Nazi.

Thus, I call bullshit - since a Vocabulary Nazi should know enough to call themselves a Vocabulary Nazi instead of a Grammar Nazi.
