[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3437566, member: 30035"] One of my GMs uses a laptop some of the time and it doesn't seem to make much difference to his GMing. It neither improves his ability to multitask nor distracts him from the game. He has a tendency to get distracted looking up rules anyway. I also have a fellow player who uses his laptop to keep his Champions! character sheet. I haven't particularly noticed that being a problem either, except when he's occasionally had a software problem during a game and had to get the GM to print a hard copy of his sheet for him so he could continue to play. I sometimes wish I had a laptop, because I have PDF copies of all my gaming books on a USB drive and it would be so convenient to just plug in my drive and look up spell descriptions or other info, instead of asking to borrow a book. We play at other peoples' homes so I can't carry all my books with me. But the people whose homes I play at have most of the books anyway, and computers available, so I get by without a laptop.
