I'm looking for something to do on-screen white-boarding when I don't
have a white-board, or for some other reason, I want to screen-cast,
and for tweaking graphics, and such.<br>
<br>
I'm considering going ghetto, and using paper, ink, and a video-camera
cabled to the computer, but it seems so ... ghetto.<br>
<br>
Also, considering Wacom bamboo and this thing here:

<br>
So, I'm basically looking for your input and opinions. I want to keep
it simple, but I own a video-camera already, so that solution comes at
a discount.<br>

Depending on how much money you have to spend on this "solution" you
could get a Smart Board or something like that from Smart Technologies,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.smarttech.com/" target="_blank">http://www.smarttech.com/</a> . They have interactive displays of varying
sizes with pen inputs, and accompanying collaborative software
application suites.<br>
<br>
I've used some of smarttech's stuff and it's very wizzy. It's also
relatively simple because they already did all of the technology &
software R&D, but perhaps for your purposes it might be too
expensive. Also I'm not sure if their applications will run on Linux.<br>
