[nabs-l] should I get a notetaker?

[Mark J. Cadigan]

The school is not looking over your shoulder to see what you have on the 
device, and besides, these devices are so specialized that I doubt a school 
administrator could discover your non school related files even if you left 
the note taker in front of them. Just remember to remove your files before 
returning the device. Don’t want to flaunt your rule braking.
The school also told me to only use my laptop for school related things, but 
if I check my facebook on it the world will not end.

Hi George:

I cagree 100 percent with everyone else.

Notetakers are very expensive. You should not have to get a econd one,
and it would be ridiculous trying to divide your personal and school
life around between two notetakers.
