Before I begin, I'd like to thank all those who offered me advice with my
university question. The information that you all offered me was very
valuable. Thanks again.

Has anyone heard of the CrossPad? It was a product from Cross, the pen
company, that IBM was a major part of. It was basically a regular pad of
paper with a radio receiver of some sort, and a radio transmitter in a
special pen, that would digitize a good number of pages of written
information.

Many sources online say that then pen transmits "Pen stroke information"
wirelessly, but how would the pen know its absolute position relative to the
page? I'm thinking that there's some sort of triangulation going on here
with signal strength.

Does anyone have any idea as to where I can find a more in-depth discussion
as to how this thing really works? I think it's really interesting, and
would probably be even more interesting to try and duplicate.
