Re: Buying or making graphics tablet

Back in the days (ca. 1993) I wrote a driver for serial "digitizer" (tablet without pressure sensor) and had adapted it to send DPaintIV commands from a a toolbar (the tablet allowed for a pice of printetd paper below its transparent surface).

All aimed at commercial project which eventually fell through.

No I don't have the sources anymore, but the protocol was pretty straightforward.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
