    I have a Bamboo tablet, and it works well... my next preferred input device is a trackball, then a touchpad, then a mouse. It's hard to draw with a bar of soap.

    The Wacom Bamboo is top rated and reasonably priced... add some handwriting recognition software.

    I'm not sure why anyone would want to enter in a lot of text via handwriting, though. Drawings I can see but I'm only a moderately fast typist and can still write many times faster on a keyboard than I could by hand.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I agree, I type better than I write by hand... blame the Underwood SX-100 of my childhood.

    Yeah! That's exactly the same machine I learned to type on as well. Weighed a ton and I'll bet you could use one to prop up a car while you change the tire.

    Because there's a lot of stuff I write down on the fly that contains symbols and formulas that can't simply be typed, unless I use LaTeX. LaTeX is preferred but sometimes it's quicker and easier for me to jot down words, symbols, and sketches using pencil and paper than it is to create a document using the appropriate LaTeX markup symbols.

    Okay, that makes sense.

    Hello.

    Why not just a pen that can read your writing?

    I have a Siso Tablo, it works not unlike the Wii controls, basically allows you to "air write" on any surface.

    It was fairly cheap but I dont remember where I got it, it might have been a "Woot". (woot.com)
    I've accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. My next crap could spell disaster.
