“That’s the best use of a computer I’ve ever seen,” my CS prof told me as I wrote pseudocode on my MacBook with a pencil.


.. does that come off?


Yep. MacBooks are pretty good at shedding whatever you put on them. Even sharpie rubs off pretty easily.


I wouldn't be worried if it is a grease pencil


I once worked in an architecture/engineering firm with an old school architect who worked wonders with pencils and inks. He had a cartoon over his desk: "Computer aided drafting." Showed a crusty, bearded architect sitting on top of his computer as though it were a chair, while drawing with pencils as usual.

Back on topic, the solution as I see it is a data store, and different interfaces customized for each employee. Expensive, but the bartender and the hostess don't need the same information.
