I'm not sure how anyone takes notes with a computer.
I've tried graphics tablets but still much prefer pen and paper.
When I'm writing at the keyboard I keep everything as simple as possible, using Markdown, which works on any computer that has a text processor. I suppose I could use a laptop for taking notes in an English or History class but it still seems to me much too restrictive.
