The outliner is good for nonlinear note taking. Topics can generate their own
bullet. If the lecturer drops off topic of refers to an earlier one the note
can be quickly attached as a child to the appropriate topic.
The trick to note taking is to leave recognition to later and only taking ink
notes in the first instance. Mathematical formulas need never be converted to
text and left as ink.

I recently took a Research Methods course that a newton would have been
excellent for. I think bottom line: any course that mainly involves
definitions, lists, process, and case studies. Not good for Physics or Math
classes because writing formulas is too involved. Not good for History,
which requires non-linear notetaking. Probably good for Geography,
Pscychology, Sociology, and definitely for any language course that uses
Latin letters. Indeed, the eMate has the best handling of accented
characters I've ever experienced.
