I first read this as "NYT: IBM PC Division Sold To Advance China's Gaols".

I can't attest to this personally, having only used the non-saving version, but I'm seriously considering buying one of these. http://www.improvelectronics.com/boogie-board-LCD-writing-tablet/boogie-board-rip-LCD-writing-tablet.html granted, you can't load textbooks onto it or anything, but that makes it a fair bit cheaper compared to buying a full-blown tablet. the non-saving one was quite good just for scribbling rough working and had a really nice feel.
