Warning! Typos abound, or should I say hand writing mistakes, If you are eseyly offended Boy bat grammar and spelling, please move on to some one eleses Blog.

So I am writing this with a stylus on a tablet PC. I am amazed by How well The Hand writing Recognition seams to work. I am also amazed By How strange the errors are, when it dose not. I am not a very fast Typist. Nore a very gifted speller, and my penmanship seams To be equally sad. In Short, I should not Be allowed near a tablet PC.

Without, a keyboard, or a spellchecker, I am  pretty much lost, But That is not what I am for in a tablet. I want it to Draw. ever since I saw a pre-tabet Computer called a Q De, way Back in 2000 at Comdex, I have Dremt of having one. My dream as always been to Have a kind of everlasting sketchbook, ant virtual Canvas, all the Freedom of carrying around a pat of paper, with all The power of all The best computer design programs. I often Thought how I would Sit outside ant Sketch Then be able to turn that sketch into a painting, or save it forever, or email it to a friend, (Yes I have once). well have been playing with This one for a few hours now ant, I can safely Say That My Incan is still a ways off.

My first-impressions were Leuc warm, but I have to admit that there is alot to be impressed by as I move on through The Learning curve. As a sketchbook it is not perfect. There is a good 1/4 inch cf pavalax Between were the tip of The pen It its The glass, cut were the "Ink" appears. I have Sean newer mobiles of tablets that have shrunk this to 1/8. But on This particular tablet (a Fujitsu stylistic) The gap is quite Large. There is even a wacom 21" Tablet That only has a gap of around 1/16. But Thats another bog entirely. what this gap means is That it dose not "feel" quite right. however, I did manage to find a enhanced Pen Driver from wacom. That dose make it Pressure sensitive, and allows for a much more natural feeling Than I would have thought.

As for painting, I am a bit Disappointed in The Computer itself. Sadly The Pentiums 3M, and 512megs of ram, are not Hacking it when it comes to Photoshop. Once I get a 8.511 x 11" image at 300 dpi, add in a few layers, and It comes to a crawl. but, It is still pretty cool, As long as I keep the files small.

the last Real problem is The size of The screen cut, resolution. The screen is only 11 ish inches, and running at 1024 x 768.  which, is at the same time, to Small, and to large. the text is very small but, there is not enough screen real estate to fit The Photoshop Pallites. So the working area is very small.

So in Short I will keep dreaming of The perfect tablet PC. At the rate The technology is growing I will Be able to get my Dream one of these says.

P.S. This has taken about 10 times as Long to write, then it would have taken to type.

PSS. I Think this Tablet needs a skin. must ad that to my list.
