Writing w/ a stylus

Bangin' on this keyboard is getting tough and I'm a writer more than anything. I can print faster than I type, but editing on a computer is easier than editing on hard copy. Is there a tablet that would best facilitate this? :o

OK, I'm pretty much a dummy when it comes to electronic gizmos, but it looks as if this http://www.amazon.com/Recording-iVistaTablet-Handwriting-Recognition-Software/dp/B001ZNPBKA/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1298238106&sr=1-6
is the one that'll best meet my needs. It's also the most expensive (why am I not surprised). All this computer stuff is costin' me an arm and a leg.

OK, I bought the damned thing. Between my rpg's and this computer, I'm going broke!

Good luck!

Just got it. Now let's see if I can get the damned thing to work!

Got it installed. I have so much s**t on this computer now, trying to get it to work that I'm hopelessly lost, as usual. I guess I have to wait until the tablet charges before I can try it.

Why in the hell does all this computer stuff have to be so damned hard. I have the tablet installed and I can use it after a fashion. However, in order to convert into txt or doc, my scribblings have to be saved as a .top file. Haven't figured out how to do that yet.

And the surface area of the tablet doesn't correspond with the screen display. I'm writing on a small portion of the tablet but using the full area of the display.

Gawds, I really don't have the time or money to be fiddle-fartin' with this infernal machine constantly!

:banghead:

Such is life. I'd look through the user guide and see what help it offers on the display/tablet ratio and conversion.
