Scoble: "Channel 9 just added Tablet PC support to its forums"

At first glance, this got a cynical "So what." reaction from me. But for some reason, I clicked through to C9 to see what was up first hand.

My cynicism quickly yielded to a big smile. Technology is becoming more useful, rich and...human, every day. Very cool stuff. Now we just need ink support on every PC and every web site to support ink!

Ink on everything.
