- I, for one wouldn't. If there were a notebook sized computer that would
- recognize my handwriting (a curious combination of printing and cursive)
- that was as reliable as a pen, (and of course, assuming I could afford it)
- I would immediately switch to this computer. I only write first drafts
- long hand now, because I can't lug a computer around with me all of the
- time.
