[Nfb-krafters-korner] comments on I phones and note takers

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Jean, I think that the only way to take notes by picking up something and 
writing with it would have to be the slate and styless. Recording and 
writing down notes from the recordings at a later time is still a good 
option. You can get a recorder for a much better price than you can with 
those note takers.
