I'd go with a fine-tip pen. I like this tool for a few reasons. Its interface is extremely intuitive, and it can be applied in all kinds of different situations. Not only can you quickly record complex mathematical equations, but you can also insert pictures and graphs alongside your notes. Some people would suggest that the wide range of functionality that the pen provides is a sign of feature-bloat (you can even use it to play games like tic-tac-toe and MASH), but I think that it just shows how an elegant and simple design can produce such a versatile tool. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any pen implementations that provide spell-check functionality. Of course, to use a pen to take notes, you'll need another tool to store the output of the pen. For this, I would suggest a simple lab notebook of bound graph paper. -- Topher Fischer GnuPG Fingerprint: 3597 1B8D C7A5 C5AF 2E19 EFF5 2FC3 BE99 D123 6674 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.thetopher.com
