I have a pen. =20
This pen uses regular paper. And to matter the fact, you can get =
a whole pack of them, like twelve, for under two bucks.
I can calculate with it, write music with it, and even make =
illustrations with it. And if I use special carbon paper when I use =
this pen under the paper that I am working with, I can make a duplicate!
Isn't technology great?

PS: They come in multiple colors and different colors of ink! Will the =
wonders ever cease?

Sort of. The innards are, in fact, nearly the same. It works with the =
same=20
dot pattern. Some prototypes of the Fly used Nokia versions of the Anoto =
pen.
If you get a Nokia or Ericsson pen, you can send SVG-format stroke files =

It is unfortunate, but it's better than any other solution.
A clipboard underneath would be:
1. Fixed size.
2. Wouldn't know the page you were actually on.
3. Be very susceptible to alignment problems if the paper shifted at =
all.
4. Not fit in your pocket very easily.
I have to admit, though, that my tolerance for the special paper is=20
somewhat increased since I can actually generate my own paper whenever I =
want.
