Tape recorders are great for recording sessions. The tapes can then be
transcribed after the conference has ended and the panic is over. I have
always wondered why Usenix didn't record all their sessions on audio tape
and then make those tapes available for purchase. Yes, I know that it
would compete with the video tapes but time is at a premimum and I 
don't have a VCR in my car...
