Breaking cover during the past week is a new blog coming courtesy of student Anirudh Saraf. His blog, entitled Tablet PC - A Student’s Perspective, is one well worth keeping an eye on. Planning to blog mainly on “notetaking, OneNote and OneNote powertoy development” Anirudh has already got his blogging ball well and truly rolling [...]

Bhaltair on our forums points out a major discount on the pen-friendly Bluebeam PDF Revu (similar to Adobe Acrobat). If you’re a student, you can get the (standard) version of Bluebeam’s Revu for $30.  This will support all Office 2003, 2007 programs etc.  It’s a GREAT PDF writer (print to PDF) - in [...]

He’s already posted one on using a Tablet PC to annotate Powerpoint and his second helping, looking into using MS Journal as a viable alternative [...]

One of my major gripes about OneNote is that the pages will get longer, but they won’t tell you where the page will cut off if you have to print it to paper. For random scribbles and day-to-day operations, this is fine, but if you’re getting ready for that open note test, being able to [...]

Well it couldn’t have happened at a worse time i.e. a few days before the start of my new term, but recurring battery problems have finally caused me to lose faith in my trusty old Acer C300 and as a consequence I’ve sent her packing to the Tablet PC retirement home (well actually I’ve passed [...]

If you visit this site through conventional means, you may have noticed I’ve been playing with embedded fonts. Let me know if it’s cool (in small quantities, of course) or extremely annoying

Quick update that I have a Planon DocuPen RC800 coming my way for review purposes. I really can’t wait to try this thing out on my own as I’ve heard very mixed reviews. It seems like a great solution for students, but does it really work?We’ll see!
