This is great, I just had to come out of my lurking to post this.

Quote: | Today I acquired a set of color pencil devices. You can get them in certain specialized shops. Note the device color range greatly varies by manufacturer; mine wasn’t even in the 6 bit range, producing only up to 24 colors when displayed. Invitations are not required for usage of color pencils though the service is paid only, with unfortunately no trial period.
Preparing the color pencil device for usage is relatively straightforward. As shown in the photo, you will have to open the lid of the metal box using your right or left hand. This installation however was completely undocumented, which may leave non power users confused. What’s more, reading the sparse documentation on the backside of the metal box after you set up the pencils for usage requires you to turn around the box – which will make the color pencils fall out of their box onto the floor or table. |

A good review but it fails to stress a few points.
1) The performance of the software varies by the initial cost.
I have used some Crayola brand pencils only to have disappointing results.
2) Some functions are not present in some brands.
Particularly my collection includes several variants of the Prismacolor type. "Blend" is not a well supported function of the colorfast variety.
the function "Undo" seems to be missing altogether from all variants. along with my Koh-I-Noor woodless pencils.

Now !'ve seen everything. I can't help but chuckle when I read it all. I mean what next, detailed instructions on how to use utensils to consume your food?
Oh wait. This is the internet I'm talking about. _________________ Asalis: (uh*sah*lis)
