fairly familiar to me and I am just getting explanations of specific

i bring my laptop to SME sessions, am an extremely fast typist with my notes
(where i absorb and ask appropriate questions), and am familiar with what
I'm writing about -- yet taping sounds like a fantastic idea to me. As
someone mentioned before, things come up during sessions that I see as so
simple and logical that I would SURELY remember it later when writing up my
documents -- yet, quite often, I don't.
