Notes can be taken the old-fashioned way with pen and paper,--much less distracting There is nothing distracting about computers. They use them in all schools now, colleges and law school. Every public hearing and even congress allows computers. There is no reason that they would distract any board business, the seats are not on top of the board members, and often we can't even hear the board, and I am sure they wouldn't hear the lap tops. I think I brought a lap top one time and was told not to use it. So, I put it aside, and typed on the breaks. It is nonsense to control information, and never before has it been to this extent. I know that Lew does not fear disclosure, and it is time we stopped the madness. We didn't lose a national because of information, it was because Ralph Roberts and Harold Sands were in such a battle, and the AKC couldn't take sides without being sued to death. They suspended our National instead of taking sides.
