You might want to look into electronic clipboards. They generally allow you to take notes and store them in image formats easily readable by any computer. Some also have the added feature that you can use normal paper and pen as well, so you have an electronic copy and a hardcopy of the note. Most either use an SD card (same as a digital camera) or have internal memory, and connect via USB.
Just a thought.
Oh, thanks, that’s a great idea. Then she could take notes, transfer them to a more stable desktop - and I wouldn’t have the fear that the laptop will get stolen. BTW, did you know that computers can have a version of Lo-Jack installed for something like $120 or so for 4 years? From a parent’s point of view, sounds like a deal!
