I'd like to get XThink's Math Journal. My classes require a great many equations and many problems. I don't think I have ever done a problem completely correctly the first time.
Is there any software you would like to have for
Is there any software you would like to have for your tablet that you just cannot justify the expenditure of funds for? Why would you like to have this application?

Math Journal is one of mine as well. I don't do enough math, but when I do I want a fully feature app. Results Manager is maybe on this list. It is an add-on for Mind Manager that will cost me more than I pard for the original program. Add X1 to that list too, but I've got a substantial discount on it that may result in a purchase.
Adobe Acrobat (for all it can do with PDFs which would be great)...Hmm...Mind Manager (because it just is a cool ap but way too much for my $10 budget)...Math Journal (engineering has more math than linguistics ;))....Photoshop CS (Abobe seems to have a lot of them...I have this at work and use it all the time and it's great)...I usually try not to think of these since, well, it's depressing ^_^.
I'm trying out MindManager right now, and so far I haven't been able to get to where I can justify $300. My threshhold seems to be about $70-, where if it seems useful I'll pay, but if it isn't completely addictive and obviously going to be of daily use, I don't have to resources to spring more than that. I was reading Mark Orchant's blog about using MindManager with ResultsManager, and that's about a $500 investment. I'm hoping corporate America pays for their employees to be productive, and I got some sweet things from my employers, but I'm not at a point where I could justify even asking them to consider that kind of dough for me. If I could draw, that alien drawing package looks like tremendous fun, but I can't, so it's Power Toy Paint for Tablet for me. Or I can afford ArtRage, because it's free.
I agree,I'd love to buy Sketchbook Pro, Math Journal, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, Corel Painter and maybe some Orange Guano stuff. At least I can say I have Visual Studios and OneNote to keep me happy. Vivá la Inkball
Ah yes the Adobe products I would buy if I could afford them. Fortunately my work gave them to me.
I spent $130 on MindManager. That's the most I've ever spent on software.Given how much I use it, it was a worthy investment.
No regular laptop provides the kind of entertainment that HWR gives us daily! I've been laughing for two minutes, especially since a lot of us agree tqc's product DEFINITELY isn't a "piece of guano!"quote:Originally posted by orta

Ok, back on topic...
I'd really like to have VMWare (hopefully I can get it this year, but it's in the queue behind a 60gb HD and OrangeGuava). My own license of Ofc 2003 would be great, too; I'm covered by my employer's license agreement, but I'm thinking I will have to leave them one day soon, if I'm ever to have hope that someone will allow me to acquire some new skill sets.
Windows Server 2003 would possibly allow me to work on those new skills at home (yeah, I know I can download an eval copy, but I'm dubious as to what I could really learn before the expiration date was done, and, frankly, I wouldn't want to have to go back and pull machines off AD and domains and...) . I wonder if it will run in a virtual machine.
A newer version of Paint Shop Pro would be nice, too (currently using version 4), but it's not so immediate a need, since I saw that wonderful post informing us about Paint.NET.
I'm always getting it recognized as orange girava for some reason... the name was chosen some time before I had a tablet.
Being a developer means there isn't really any software too expensive to justify - A subscription to everything Microsoft produces can cost less than visual studio on it's own, and for a lot of other things you can get free development copies or trade licence keys. And developing tablet software makes it easy to justify spending on tablet stuff.
I bought PSP 9 shortly before paint.net showed up - mainly because I had a bunch of files in psp format when the trial expired, but I'm pretty happy with it.
Does VMWare work with a tablet?
I tried Photoshop CS, but it has problems fitting some things on the screen in portrait mode. I hoped it would introduce better tablet compatibility, but it's actually worse! I'll be sticking with 7.
