StaffMember: I like hand made

StaffMember: I do too Leigh

Jude Cooke: Do any of those have the organic capacity of the one bv being demonstrated

minhaaj: true. writing it with your own hand, shifts the learning curve further to right.

Bee (Brazil): much easier by hand...but then cannot link or collaborate on them

Bron: yes the online tools all have some contraints that irk you

minhaaj: good point Bee. Do you mean in web 2.0 and online context, freemind is more productive?

StaffMember: once scanned, and digitised, we can collaborate, by printing and drawing again, the scanning and sharing again

Nellie Deutsch: my writing is terrible these days because I hardly use it

Nellie Deutsch: I meaan my hand writing

StaffMember: i think that is a major problem I find that too I hardly ever hand write anymore

Bee (Brazil): the online tools are still very stiff and linear

StaffMember: yes we tried to do one on the whiteboard here but it was very time consuming!

Bee (Brazil): maybe those who have a tablet and a stylus

minhaaj: its been couple of years since i have written with hands. Do pretty much everything online.

Jude Cooke: how about using a graphics tablet\

Bee (Brazil): but drawing with a mouse is gross

StaffMember: very true

Bee (Brazil): and the touch pad is even worse

Jude Cooke: graphics tablet?

Bee (Brazil): for artists

Bee (Brazil): beautiful

StaffMember: I haven't used one I have to admit

Jude Cooke: for freehand drawing

Bee (Brazil): images are good for metaphors

Bee (Brazil): multiple meanings
