<br>> Myth is not really designed for touch screens, so that's the part that would
<br>> be problematical, but I think many older laptops might be able to do what you
<br>> mention, for well under $500, at least for SD, as could at least some of the
<br>> Netbooks out there.
<br>>
<br>> Most "Tablet" style machines could do it, and some used ones are available for
<br>> under $500.
<br>>
<br>> Maybe I'll try it with my old Newton 150?
<br>>
<br>> The Maemo devices (Nokias?) might be candidates as well.
