Tablet PC
So my Fujitsu Stylistic 3500 came in the mail yesterday. I love it and don't love it. I love it because it's a tablet PC and its way more fun to navigte the OS with a pen. It's form factor is also great. But no ethernet, win 98, no wireless, no keyboard kind of sucks. I tried to upgrade the OS to WIN XP but I couldn't type in the serial with the handwriting software, which I can't get without going on the internet. It's like a vicious circle. I have to play with it some more.

I did, however, make me realize that I do want a very modern tablet PC as my next laptop. Here is a sketch made of the statue of liberty in GIMP. The pen is not pressure sensitive without the driver which I can't get without the internet.

Sleeping?
I should be sleeping but instead I am proofreading my presentation. I think it has the potential of being the best ever, as long as the whole computer projector connection holds up. They have me teaching in a room that does not have the software I am teaching, so I am stuck with resorting to teaching from my laptop. It is very non-hands-on, which is awkward for DMA, but it has to be done. Yay for Tuesday, I take back what I said last week.

I'll keep you all posted after it happens.

Great Buffalo History Site
Who would have ever thought that Buffalo and Blackrock were competing for the mouth of the Erie Canal. Here you can find out about Beginnings - The Village of Buffalo - 1801 to 1832

Here is a link to a much larger history directory on the same site.

It also has a link to the Buffalonian

What is The Buffalonian?

As founder Steve Powell puts it. "We are a "NOT-COM" dedicated to the dissemination of historical information... We are a nonprofit organization creating an online community and archive."
