Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet

Thanks to CSE481b, I will be the owner of a brand new M4 for the remainder of this academic quarter.

I received the tablet a few hours ago through the departmental equipment borrowing system. After the novelty of being able to draw on the screen wore off, I realized that most applications are rather terrible on the tablet platform. Using web browsers is a pain, file navigation and menus are not pen-centric etc.

However the tablet does have one good app, Windows Journal. Journal is like the classic notepad, but it's pen instead of keyboard based.
