      I took a laptop to college in 2003 for note-taking. It was very rare, maybe 1 or 2 in the lecture hall. In a CompSci programme.

        Right. Maybe I was a bit early. Even a few years later it wasn’t like Laptops had touchscreens and you could scribble down notes. For maths-heavy programmes like CS only the 2 LaTeX nerds were able able to copy the equations and you also needed to learn TikZ or something to make diagrams. I bought a Thinkpad X61T with pen in 2008. But even then it wasn’t a common thing.
