(Mar 10/08) I think many quiet study areas do not allow laptop in there, right? at least, i think the study area on first floor, near the washroom at mills had a sign at the door that says please enjoy food and drink and laptop at other places. But people never follow these rules. I think people study at the quiet study room because they needed a really quiet place to concentrate (including me). However, those who do not follow the rules would use their laptop in the study room and start typing. I find this very irritating since I hated the sound of laptop typing. It really makes me mad and can not concentrate. I know that this might be only my problem but when I hope that people can obey the rules and dont type in the QUIET study room when it says explicitly that LAPTOPS ARE NOT ALLOWED.
