Yes, real whiteboards (or equivalent) were what started the
subthread. And yes, ones that could be captured and shared
would, IMO, enhance the process, especially for remote
participants, and especially since we have largely dropped video
(which might permit remote participants to look at on-screen
materials).
I could, of course, be wrong, but I don't know how to find out
without trying it. And I responded strongly to Marshall's
suggestion because those digital-capable whiteboards are not
cheap and, unlike VGA projectors, are hard or impossible to
obtain from the local rent-a-computer or hotel AV facility.
Whether it is worth the experiment --and I acknowledge that
experiments, like tools, have their own costs-- I'm happy to
leave to whatever community consensus emerges.
