    does anyone know about digital notepads...
    i am looking for one where i can take notes and have it stored on the pad and then transfer later on to my laptop... as well as getting it so that i can have it interact with the laptop like a tablet pc almost for my drawing things.. or do i have to get 2 seperate items....
    any advice and suggestions on good ones under 200$ would be appreciated

    I think you may be looking for a digital pen (not sure what the actual name for them are though). They write on certain paper (with location markings printed on them) and record what you write. Then you can download the information into your system later.

    I'm not sure if this technology is still around though.

    Good luck in your search.

    a wacom + ms office will let you write on the pad and translante the writing into text.
