just use PAPER  

since i've been in university, i've had my share of encounters with keeners. specially life sci keeners which have scrwed a couple of us out of a chance to redeem ourselves in organic chemistry, but thats a different story that i've probably ranted about b4.

now, introducing the computing keener. this specimen of keener will go to class, sit more or less near the front and ask questions. okay, nothing special there. they they proceed to take out a laptop (usually one thats so ridiculously small and compact that it makes you want to punch them in the face so u can take it for yourself) to take down notes in class.

i actually dont have a problem with this if you're in a class where the prof talks a lot or writes a lot down. i myself have experimented with this last year and found it slightly effective. but the thing that pissed me off today was that it was in a computing class where the teacher was drawing DIAGRAMS. and this guy in front of me was furiously going at his laptop drawing all these trees, triangles and circles...in microsoft word. like at least get a mac, correct me if i'm wrong, but those things are much more easier to draw diagrams on. i have no idea how he's even gonna study from those things! i dont think he was paying attention much, just tryin to get all those diagrams down!

so today, i will be taking out my fancy schmancy EMP to FRY your lil laptops so that you can go back to using paper, and to keep me from being distracted while i marvel at your ridiculous note-taking ways.
