That about sums it up

“I used the Tablet pc primarily for taking notes in class. I was lucky that all my professors used PowerPoint presentations, therefore it was easy to take notes on the slides. I also sat in on some of the HUP classes (the 1 unit activity) when they were lecturing some of the student athletes were impressed with the writing capability because they said it would make it easier on the coach to show strategies and diagrams and then save it on the tablet rather than erasing off the blackboard. The devices are nice and do have a tremendous potential. i wasn't fond of the loading time it takes, so I primarily left the tablet in a hibernation mode.”
