Hey Mike;

I wanted to explain why I sounded so terse in the post before my last one...we had an experience here with a rep from a certain device re-brander who spun every failure and failed promise into some sort of superficial positive. So, for me it's sort of a take-no-prisoners POV and I'm sure my comments came across as, well really pissy, sorry about that because I think your Onyx 60 is a great move forward by adding the Wacom. The Wacom is IDEAL for a research device as well as for a student device. So, I don't want to come across as saying your Onyx 60 is BAD but rather it's not a panacea as the title of the thread would imply. Every device falls short for some people and I was just pointing out why I see it as a problem for science majors. Those are the students in need of a really solid large format device.

Getting something from Wolfram would be genius even if it was a partnership to help create a firmware that enables complex textbook layouts. I remember when I bought my first copy of MathCad as a student because not a chance I could have afforded Mathematica...I mean it was like $750 back then...hehehehe and Mathcad as about $120 student price. I used it for all of my course work from that point forward since the equation editors in the word processors at the time were , well, crappy....hahaha...

Will keep any eye on the next gen from Onyx to see what fun comes next...but I also see it being a bit difficult to work up something for a cpu as found in most ereaders...then again even those are pretty darned these days.

Hope it all works out in the end!!
