gollark: My laptop is a cheap businessy one I got for £150 and upgraded.

gollark: Here's my experimental notes thing "working" somewhat.

gollark: I have a drawing tablet somewhere because my brother wanted one and didn't use it much, only £60 and it... technically works.

gollark: Minoteaur, my highly WIP notes thing, uses CommonMark + extensions.

gollark: For the stuff I *do* have stored digitally, they're wikitext, which allows formatting a bit.
