Looking around, some were actually reading the presenters' papers online, but most were checking email and/or surfing the web. I did wonder what the speakers thought (and there were only a few really bad speakers at this conference, so that wasn't even the issue).Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082496114155799356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9848115.post-1112633073771472412005-04-04T11:44:00.000-05:002005-04-04T11:44:00.000-05:00I find that wireless isn't usually available at ou...I find that wireless isn't usually available at our conferences, although my husband is in a more technical field and it seems like they make a much bigger effort to make it available for those fields.

(You say people were doing it during sessions.) I personally kind of find it rude.Ianquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268223727887685830noreply@blogger.com
