Is it just me, or are there any other people out there who can type
much faster than they can write?  I don't consider myself a fast or
accurate typist, but I can still get more work done with a keyboard
than with pen or pencil.

This PenPoint OS sounds curious, but how many serious users are going
use it instead of a Notebook sized computer with a keyboard?  My hand
cramps up after a long session of trying to scribble down notes at a
furious pace during some techinical session.  I was much more
effective with a small laptop.

Besides, how do you use Emacs without a control or meta key? :-)
