RE: Note taking...

street price for the E-pen is $180 
A Wacom Graphire2 costs $99.95 and Wacom supports
Lunix, if you ant to draw on paper at the same time
the Graphire Inking Pen only costs $49.95. so for
$149.9

I'm not sure is my pad in a Graphire 1 or 2 but it
works grate under linux and only uses 40mA. and has a
roughly 5 feet cord.  you remember those cardboard
drawing pads that  had the to sheets of plastic and a
plastic stylus and the pressure made marks then you
left the top sheet to remove erase?  Should get one to
put on top of my tablet.  I can't do with out an
absolute mouse positioning.

of course a Cintiq 15x only cost 1,899 US and you got
1024x768 15 inch screen
