InkChat

So, for CSE 490 we have to write an application (which is a program, which is a thing that you stick on the computer and it does cool stuff, like email). I decided to make mine somewhat original and somewhat useful. So, I'm making a chatting client which in addition to typing on, you can write on as well. All chatting clients I know of use one way to communicate: keyboard. There's actually this new technology out there called Tablet PC which lets you write on the screen like you would on paper instead of typing for input. So, I'm going to use this new technology to enable users who have tablet PC to send written messages as well as typed ones. The beauty of this program is that people without tablet pc's can still read the ink because the ink is saved as an image.
This program will be particularly useful for science teachers or students who need to write complicated mathematical expressions while chatting, or for teenage girls who want to draw copious amounts of hearts around the name of the guy that they all have a crush on. Or, it can be used by grandmas who can't type, the list goes on indefinitely.
That's my idea anyway.
