In regards to your current system and not being able to use a trackpad:

Though not an ideal choice, a trackpad would possibly be better then the roller mouse, or at least a decent alternative. I’m sure there must be a version out there that reacts to something other than a finger, but even if not, there must be a way to emulate the finger and skin. Maybe it’s an electrical signal of some kind? If no one has a simple answer I’ll look into it.

My mother once had an alarm clock with a touch sensitive snooze bar, but her fingers, for whatever reason, could not activate it, whereas mine could.

On another note, I use ritepen software to allow me to “write anywhere” on the screen and not be limited to the TIP box. Write Anywhere was a function Windows XP had on the original XP OS of SP1 but did away with in SP2. I’m still heart broken! But at least ritepen is a workable alternative.

And lastly, I have my tablet hooked up to an extended 19″ monitor, so the lack of real estate is no longer an issue. Of course the other monitor is not touch or pen sensitive, but I use a combination of the pen and conventional mouse/keyboard with the setup and it works well. I believe there is a powertoy that allows you to control a second extended monitor from the Tablet screen, while keeping different info on each. In a way it turns the tablet into a trackpad.

Best of luck with the tablet, and thanks for the write up of experience.

Dave, excellent article on your usage of the Tablet PC. Have you tried a Sahara Tablet with a touch screen? This might be easier to manipulate since the screen is directly responsive to contact. Great article!
