I found this really thin flat white rectangular thing lying around in
my office that nobody was using, and on top of it was a whatsit, um,
pencil? Anyway, works remarkably well. And what's really cool, it
solves the persistence problem in a totally orthogonal way. You just
enter^W write the data down, and it gets persisted until you manually
delete^W erase it. How cool is that?
