My new laptop, a Lenovo x61 tablet PC, is on it's way! Shipped early, but hung up in Shanghai. I confess I'm a little concerned about the quality control on a PC made entirely in China. But then, I bought two years of on site service to go with it.
The auxiliary digitizer pen I bought with it is quite narrow. I'm nervous as to whether this will solve my problem with spastic hands. It depends on how effective the "snap to" grids are on the software I want to use. At this point, I can still get to the vicinity of the grid points with a pen--not so much with a mouse.
I also ordered OneNote 2007. We'll have to see if this is more a tool than a nuisance. Often these things sound great but end up annoying me no end.
Either Friday or Monday, I'll have my major new electronic gadget!
Update: Maybe my next gadget will be a Kindle. They're almost there, and it's perfect, 10.5 ounces, for a person like me for whom the weight of the book has become one of the primary conditions as to whether I can read it.
