I've made a concerted effort to try programming in my "off hours" on the Tablet PC...in slate mode...without a keyboard...or external monitor. (Yeah, sounds crazy, but I really wanted to understand what it's like.) How's it going? It's passable. via

Wow, not for me. I've worked with both a convertible and a slate Tablet PC and I *vastly* prefer the convertible, precisely because I found programming with pen impossible. One of the two thousand projects I have on the stack of "things to do in my copious spare time" is a customizable pen keyboard / input editor, precisely so I could dedicate virtual keys to, say, { and } characters. With such a thing, I could imagine programming with pen.
