>> It really is an erase function. Flip the pen over and erase >> what you just painted. I tried it out at Siggraph and as soon >> as I'm 100% sure it supports WinNT I'm getting one. Ok Ted B. & DaviD G.: I guess it is *what* is erased that I am wondering about. When you do some drawing/painting with the pointy end, are you putting your stuff on a separate layer? Then when you turn over to the eraser, are you erasing just that layer? In other words, the drawing/painting, as well as the erasing, don't have anything to do with the original image? Or, when erasing, are you erasing to nothing (a hole in the image)? Or do you have a choice of either option? Just curious, it seems like it could either be a nice thing or just another cutsy gimic, not sure.
