A press release in the Melbourne Age, 14 May 1991 referred to a device called
a Gridpad which acts as both an lcd screen and a graphics tablet.This is good
news to me, as I can't stand trying to draw with my drawing hand spatially
seperated from the picture I'm making - I think it's the single biggest
drawback about computers as drawing tools.

	Has anyone used one, or similar devices? Any comments?

	From what I could work out about this device, it's monochrome. 
	Is there a high res colour version of the same out there somewhere?
