SoftBoard - an interactive electronic whiteboard

What is a SoftBoard?
It is a mobile whiteboard (writing surface approx 53" w x 40" h) that can be connected to a computer to display and record whatever is written or drawn in real-time and in color. An entire work session can be saved to a computer file and later printed or emailed. Notes can be pasted as graphics into other applications.
