And someone out there is going to make a killing by designing an equation-
recognition package that can understand handwritten mathematical symbols
and equations.  The obvious (to me) next step is to take such an equation
processor and interface it to existing symbolic math technology...  After
all, I think the goal is to replace the "back of the envelope," and that
isn't going to happen until graphics, words, and equations can all be
transparently entered by the user.
