Question, WHY? Yes, a touch sensative screen would be neat, but what would
someone use it for? And a paint program? Again, you can't print it out
and it's B&W(gray scale if you cared to write the extra pages of code). To
print it out, you would have to link it to your computer, and after all
that, you'd be better off just using your computer to draw it anyway.
Sure, you could save it, and maybe come up with something kind of neat
looking, but with 124 by 62 pixels(or whatever, I can't remember), how neat
can it look?
