	Which is almost what a lot of people enamored of "tablets" are doing.

	I really miss my old PDA's "letter recognizer" input system (not to be
confused with a cursive word recognizer, which it also had), but it just

leaving me with 1-finger (well, fat/rubbery stylus) tapping at a
representation of a keyboard.
