Oh, It was very comfortable to write on! It was even quite nice how the pens
have a little button on them for "right-clicking". All of the GUI experience
with the pen was pretty smooth except for the hand writing. The HWR was just
as good as the Newton's as far as I could tell. The problem is, it doesn't
convert your handwriting to text automatically. You have to manually tell it
that you want it to.
