I actually prefer chalk to whiteboards, but that's a remnant of studying math in college rather than CS. (Which, BTW, is one reason I've heard for my resume getting screened out before. Not the chalk thing, but the math thing. :P)



Off to the chalk pile!


Chalk always struck me as better for the environment, too.


MIT still has chalkboards. I'm sure there's a reason behind that.


How else do you draw dotted lines?

Amazing haha!


Better for the environment, yes, but not for office equipment (or so I've heard). Also, they don't sell chalk at Office Depot, IIRC. :P


It's not better for your lungs.


This is extremely dubious! I trust comparatively coarse rock dust much more than ultrafine marker dust with I'm-not-sure-what in it.
