A question to the students among us:
Is there a student here with a notebook he uses in lectures?
I'm currently doing this and me and my friends who also use notebooks haven't yet perfected the way to take notes.
While some subjects are pretty easy where you just type what the guy says and writes down (which takes far more time than typing) some subjects are pretty difficult like mathematics and electronics with all those formulas and graphics.
What kinda systems do you use/can you recommend?
Another problem is that in some subjects we have some scripts in PDF-format but it's a little problematic to edit and change (taking notes, making corrections, etc.) them on the fly.
OpenOffice.org has a neat way to treat formulas and mayhaps that's the best we have so far but for graphics and such I don't know. And I also don't think that ASCII art is very efficient.
PS: I know about tablet PCs but they're just too friggin expensive at the moment. But how well do they work with Linux anyway?
Thanks for your input
