    Hey is there any accessories out there that i could take notes on so i can have all my notes and drawings put onto a computer and is or can be edited and viewed in microsoft Works and such writing software?

    I know a tablet PC has this feature but wondering if i can just get an accessory or an item which can also do the notetaking.

    There is that logitech Iio pen or something but u need to use special paper which is expensive as is the pen itself. Thats the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. Hope that helps!

    Yeah, look into a Wacom tablet. They have all sorts of sizes, even wireless tablets. You write on the tablet and it translates into mouse movement. They work really well. I used the smallest one for a semester in Stats class, I was able to right equations, draw pictures, whatever needed. Good Luck.

    I highly recommend a convertible tablet pc - visit the sister site Tablet pc reviews -

    My personal favorite now would be a Toshiba M7 or the Fujitsu model.

    I currently have an Acer c314 which I am very pleased with.
