RE: Note taking...

Hmmm - the E-Pen looks interesting.  Where did you 
buy yours?  I'm having problems finding reviews and 
places to purchase it.  It must be very new.

Couple of questions though.  

How long is the USB cord?  I need four to six feet 
to be useful.  

How do you fix the position of the E-Pen relative 
to the paper?  I would assume if the receiver and
the paper change positions your notes would also
shift.  I suppose you could affix the receiver to
a clipboard and that would solve the problem.

If I can get my hands on one, I'll be happy to 
take a whack at writing a driver for it.
