I don't have strong opinions about pen computing, but the comment I replied to was just giving a bad impression of the tech in the early 2000s. It worked quite well actually.
Since he didn't specify the timeframe, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought it he was talking about before my time.

Apart from the problems mentioned in the comment you replied to. You don't seem to have a point other than being contrarian (as a state).

The commenter said that handwriting recognition didn't work well. But, having tried it myself, I know that's not true. My point is to share that data.

Not sure why you would ask for advice on a downvoted comment, but then just argue against the response.
No, we are not talking about the 1940s, why would anyone be talking about the 1940s? How does that make any sense at all?
We aren't talking about a Microsoft demo that worked well for you once, either. We are talking about the fact that, since the 2000s when it was tried repeatedly, people do not like to hand-write on computers. It is a strange thing not to be aware of when you're speaking so emphatically on the topic.
