I just bought the HP TC4400, a wonderful tablet PC which has quickly become my favorite tool.  It's light, portable, and easy to use, fast despite the fact that it currently runs Vista, and generally really nice.

I decided that it would become my grimoire, an absolutely magickal tool for putting forth the thoughts in my mind into a format

which I may store.   I added a piece of software called One Note, which is an excellent notebook program which works with the ink capabilities of the tablet.  It nicely keeps things in sections and categories, arranged by pages, so it is perfect for organizing my grimoire.

The speech capabilities is where I am going to have some real fun with this though.  Windows has a decent little speech recognition software, which I set up and trained to my voice.  So, now, with some bugginess due to a need to train further, I can speak to my grimoire, and it writes what I say.  A bit of editing and touch up afterward, and I should be able to very easily record all of my thoughts.  It'll be better than having my own personal scribe.
