I tried to email but it bounced back. Here is what I said: I prefer the Airliner from Smart Technologies. The Interwrite Pad from Interwrite Technologies is a close second. The Airliner seems to write a little nicer and the software is more common. That means more teachers use it so it's easier to find resources online. We go the Airliner for $400 and the Interwrite Pad was $440. If you get a better deal on the Interwrite Pad I wouldn't hesitate. It's still very nice and the software is just about the same as the notebook software. I have had trouble with Windows Vista. If you still run XP then you are in luck. It runs with Vista but there are some quirky things like not being able to unplug it and plug it back in without having to restart the computer. XP there is no problem. I got it from our local dealer in Illinois. I think if you go to http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Where+to+Buy/default.htm you can find a dealer. So far we have not used them much (It's only our second day). I've used it a lot and love it. It takes getting used to the writing and I thing the other teacher are still getting used to that. With 8 of them being used in the department We are definitely getting known as a tech savy group. Irene,

I think they can change how one teaches. I have been using one for a year and half and it is exciting. The ability to move around in my room and have students participate from their desks is great. I just wish I had 30 of them in my room. My only gripe is with the software that came with my SchoolPad. I keep crossing my fingers that they are going to upgrade it. Arggg...
