If PowerPoint already has the ability to accept freehand input from your mouse or trackpad (drawing is essentially what you're describing) then any pen tablet will work. >Are there any recommendations for cheap ones? Wacom has been the leader for eons. Their least expensive is the Graphire 2. It has a 4X5 inch writing/drawing surface. $99 everywhere or maybe $60-$80 on a good day. Comes in a few different colors. Works also in OS X. The original model was simply called Graphire. It's almost identical and you might find a used one somewhere. In CompUSA I've seen less expensive pen tablets from ??? Haven't tried one, but it's hard not to recommend Wacom. If you already have an ADB-to USB adapter you might instead find an older Wacom like the ArtPad or ArtZ on eBay. -David -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
