[Athen] Questions About UbiDuo

[Dan Comden]

Hi Mike

I inherited one of these that was used by a staff member who left the
UW. I have very little experience with it other than confirming that
it works and have not used it in a real life setting.

It appears quite useful for in-office situations. I question its
utility for a portable solution. And to be honest, with the prevalence
of mobile devices, I suspect many students could text their
conversation or use whatever notetaking/word processing utility they
have on their device to serve as an ad hoc communication solution.

But for a semi-permanent installation in an office, I think it could
work well. But trading off a laptop could serve fairly well too!
