I use a voice recorder for interviews. That allows me to participate fully
in the discussion. I may make short notes as well, but depend most on my
recordings.

Maybe a silly question, but I was wondering
When you interview programers (or any other SMEs) about features you
have to document, do you make notes in a notebook and write them up,
or do you write directly into your computer.
Up till now I have been scribbling on bits of paper (or decorating
print outs of screen shots), but I am considering going to meetings
with my laptop.
Do you think that would be a better idea?
