Laptop Distraction

A comment just got me a bit worried...
If I were someone not using a laptop during a live conference session, I'd just as soon not sit next to someone who was -- it seems at least for now much more distracting than sitting next to someone taking notes on paper.
As a person who takes all my notes into my laptop (or sometimes into my Treo), it worries me that I could be a laptop distraction as well.

I did a quick search and didn't see a whole lot on this.
  • Are other people finding that they are distracted by someone with a laptop sitting next to them at a conference?
  • Any suggestions on best way to handle?
