[blindlaw] re presentations - notes

[Ross Doerr]

When I am in court, at an administrative hearing or giving some sort of 
presentation, I tend to use my laptop in conjunction with a blue tooth 
earpiece.  Most laptops these days are compatible with a blue tooth earpiece 
of most manufacture, and I find it is easier to use that a wired earpiece. 
Those darn things keep getting my hand wrapped in them whenever I try to use 
them.
 I refer to my notes and can take notes that way.
