Just in time for the end of the semester, my new tablet pc arrived.
It’s a monster Tecra M4 and so far I must say I love it (once I removed all the bloatware and the ugly stickers!) That’s a picture of Mt. Shasta, a volcano near where I grew up, displayed on Google Earth. I’m really looking forward to taking notes with this thing. One thing that is certainly cool is that the size of my screen is such that an entire page of pdf is just about the same size as the real thing:
O brave new quantum world!
That’s awesome. I’ve been coveting a tablet pc for awhile now. You’ll have to post an update after a few months of use to let us know if it’s all that it’s cracked up to be.
Does this mean that use Windoze? I am shocked, shocked!
Oh you lucky, lucky bastard. No offense. I want, I need, a Tablet PC. I will wait for Windows Vista before I get one.
Actually, I was thinking Linux — is there Linux for tablets?
I wish there was a Mac which was a tablet, but alas!
I think there are hacks for Linux. But I must say that if those peoples over in East Seattle know what they are doing, they should put all their time into this tablet thing. It really is a very different experience so far…and I haven’t even used it during a lecture yet. But for taking notes, wow.
I’m getting my new Tablet next week (for work)! I’m getting the smaller Toshiba, the Portege since I wanted something more portable than my monster Dell Latitude.
We’ll have to compare notes and swap cool Tablet tools.
