Something reminded me of this today...my first tablet, circa 1985: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KoalaPad/Painter

I think I do remember making a map for gaming using it; and printing it out using a very hinkey color printer that used a plastic press-off ribbon (a cartridge was good for about eight pages because it had to use a, 8 1/2" character-high strip for each color (CMYK) for each line of the page).

Fun times. How did we ever survive?
