[AG-TECH] Sharing Handwritten Presentation Slides on AG ?

[John Shalf]

The e-beam whiteboard software is a free download and its fairly 
robust.  So Deb and I have talked briefly about trying that out with 
the tablet PC.  It would allow the tablet PC to interact fairly 
seamlessly with the room-sized whiteboard.  The e-beam stuff also 
allows us to share with folks that don't have the software installed 
using an a Java applet that downloads automatically into your 
web-browser when you contact the whiteboard server.  Even though it 
isn't OpenSource, at least it is free...

There is also that really cool presentation software from Richard 
Anderson that offers even more integrated use of the tablet PC.

I assume there is going to be some opportunity to play with that as 
well.
