And then when the kids get out into the big bad world and realise that most companies are using this completely different OS called Windows, that'll set them in good stead for getting a job. You linux freaks are willing to gamble with kids' futures just to get more people using your wanky OS.
Just goes to show that don't get British humour, maybe if you search Google Video for 'banana skin' you'll find some simple American humour more to your liking.
Good point, but when I write using a real pen on a pad of paper I get friction, and my writing style has developed over the years to become acustomed to this, so when I try to write on a tablet it looks like the handwriting of a three year old.
In fairness though, since I mainly type, even my best handwriting looks like it belongs to a nine year old.
I'm head of IT for a company of arboricultural consultants who perform surveys onsite using tablet PCs. It's not practical to wander around a site using a laptop, and before we introduced the tablets, they used to use paper and pens, meaning someone at the office had to type it all up, and introducing problems with quality control.
It's not so much the thickness of the tablets, as the lack of friction when writing. Surely a rubber nib to create a little bit of friction would make these things a little easier to use?
I'd like to know where this whole 'megabit' thing came from. Was it the marketing departments for companies like US Robotics? "Lets just forget about the byte multiply the numbers by eight and go back to calling them bits, then the numbers will look better!"

I concur, and I'll bet that most of the young bands around today learned to play guitar the same way I did: by downloading tab from the internet.
