I wrote a comment in your blog on that handwriting post, but unfortunately the "preview" button seems to have the "delete" function, and it is gone. Probably it was something to do with my attempt to provide a login.

The essence of my comment was: I could not possibly take a class without handwritten notes. My note-taking is so good that my notes have been distributed to the entire class on multiple occasions and I am asked for copies pretty often in any class I take.. I use my own design of note-taking paper, multiple colors of ink and I have beautiful handwriting. And this learning tool and I are so well-adapted to each other that I rarely have to review my notes once I take them.

I haven't any idea what people who bring computers to class are doing with them, but I suspect them of surfing FB and thinking about drinking and sex. I might feel differently if I could touch type, I suppose. Curious that I often write something on the keyboard to find out what I am thinking about, so for me typing is a different kind of language and brain access than handwriting. I rarely do that sort of writing with a pen. I wrote papers in college on the computer, exclusively, and of course I met darling B through type-written fanac. So: I need both, and neither is a good sub for the other.

K. [PS: I am teaching the little lovey cursive, and I have long wanted to learn shorthand]

That's lovely K. (and yeah, the login sometimes messes up on my blog. I don't know what to do about it as moving away from blogger seems like such a pain).

For me, typing notes on a computer screen is such a godsend. Searchable, bullet points, and legible even years later. I understand that mileage varies. :)
