    :D for the text-input junkies - anyone hardcore enough to take notes in LaTeX? it solves the engineering/formulas problem rather neatly...

    I considered it, but I'd have to get comfortable with getting things right with all the tags and stuff. And right now I'm not. I'm working on it, cause I'm in the middle of a paper with lots of that stuff in it, but I don't think I'm fast enough to get the formatting right. Problem with LaTeX at the moment is that I have to compile to make sure I got it right. Unless you know of a nice IDE that lets you preview realtime or at least without recompiling...
    EDIT: It also doesn't solve the other half of the problem of diagrams and such... I guess for all the circuits I could use visio and label things to match up with the text later... so much hassle... And that still doesn't solve graphs and other diagrams.
