You know, I wouldn't mind having one of those drawing tablets where you can draw straight on it with a stylus and with the press of a button everything's gone.

Great for temporary notes without having to waste all this paper here...

@trinsec <€20 on Marktplaats for a used Wacom tablet. One of the best investments I made when starting a remote company. It serves me as a remote whiteboard.

@FailForward I already have a Wacom tablet, but I really mean a simpler one where you draw on it straightly and you see the lines on the tablet. It doesn't need a computer, it's a standalone thing. That'd be handier for a very quick note like doing a little calculation or whatnot.

@FailForward Basically the digital version of an Etch-A-Sketch. ;)

@trinsec I see. MS Surface/iPad then. A bit too expensive for a sketchbook, though :-).

@FailForward Yes, way too expensive. And that's still having a whole computer in it... :)

Something similar to this:

I guess the more searchable term might be 'writing tablet', hrm.

@FailForward Ooh, searching for 'schrijftablet' on bol.com actually yields very useful and cheap results.. I might highly consider this. Thanks for putting me on the right path. :D

@trinsec interesting. I did not know such stuff exists either. But then, I use paper for all that. Specifically I am into old open envelopes which come to be from places (including Belastingdienst, those are harder to read in the dark :-D ), so I basically have a continuous supply of scrap paper.

@FailForward Exactly, but I'm tired of wasting all this paper on just quick calculations and such, which I don't want to store for a while but merely needed to put my train of thought on something physical and then is promptly useless after it's finished. This tablet would be ideal for that purpose.
