BTW, I thought I should expand this. You know, people use text editors for various things, not only text editing. (I mean "text editors" here, not "toys", that is. So that I mean either one of them.) One of them is /reading/ text. Emacs has view-mode, which is a very nice thing, and info-mode, which is pure genius - so much better than HTML browsing. Also, there is Org-mode (with agenda). It is something that might not really need /typing/ much text. A tablet with Emacs + Org-mode would be great for PIM, clocking, capturing short notes, marking things done etc. Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
