Yes.  Although I though I was the only one.  Good to see I'm not.

Are you just milling over ideas or do you have something more specific in mind?
I've though the idea over recently as one of my clients filed a patent
infringement suit in the Southern District of Texas.  Problem is, the Magistrate
and the Judge in that case are both technology adverse, and don't like the
"intrusion."  I haven't broached the topic with the other side, but I suspect
that I would get a better reception to that idea there.  Has that been your
experience?  Frankly, I think that the courts would be more open to technology
if it were easier to use.  Current court docket programs were clearly written by
non-attorneys.

Definitely room for improvement in this area.
