The nice folks at Silkyboard donated several copies of their Graffiti enhancements to TAPIT, which we raffled off during the meeting. The gist of the device is a bit of software and a Graffiti area overlay printed with a keyboard. Once the software is installed and the overlay is in place, you can either continue using Graffiti as usual, safe in knowing that there will be no scratches to your screen, or you can tap on the keyboard. While I don't personally have a problem with Graffiti, I know plenty of folks who do. They're always asking things like, "What's the stroke for the @ sign again?" or "Is the extended shift where I can find the curly brackets?" Maybe it's my music background. Symbols are easy for me to remember. But, judging by the number of people who whine about it on newsgroups and listservs, there must be a good percentage that this is NOT true for. If you're in that majority, check it out and see the possible end to your frustration. Or ask for a personal opinion from one of your TAPIT buddies on our yahoogroups area.
