Hi G

When in meetings and needing to take notes I tend to use a single ear piece
so that I can "appear" to be listening to my fellow meters whilst still
being able to hear what my note taker is saying.

Cheers

Alan

Hi all

Thanks to Collin for a most interesting article.

I want to pick up on one point in the article, where one of the contributers
suggests that it's rude to ware headphones at a meeting.

I have to say that I do this all the time, usually because it's my job to
take a note of what's being said.

I use the small in ear headphones.

I also have my laptop, on which I take notes (and on occasion do other
stuff) and essentially I was wondering if others take a view on this matter.

I'm not sure that braille would really be less obtrusive.

N.B. this is not a braille good speech bad or vice versa issue, I'm looking
for views on this specific point.

G
