There's a technology where you write with real ink on real paper - except it has a pattern of tiny infra-red dots and the pen has a tiny camera that watches them moving, and from this can remember where it moved within the coordinate system of a (uniquely serial numbered) page, and thereby recreate it on a computer, and do handwriting recognition. I believe some models will record a talk you're listening to and then correlate that with a timeline of you writing notes, so you can select a note and then hear the recording around that time period... Can't remember what it's called though! ABS -- Alaric Snell-Pym http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/
