So.. I'm working on an episode about Lightpens and the NES Zapper gun.  This is just a little teaser, since it will probably be another week or two before it is done. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing what I was working on.

Ahhh! The things engineers used to do when they had limitations to the technology of the time. I only wish we still had some of these limitations to keep engineers on their toes...

It was a cool gimmick, but never really took off due to gorilla arm. With a phone or tablet, you can rest your arm on something, but modern desk computer monitors are usually not touchscreens also because of gorilla arm, hanging in midair over the keyboard. Probably the only desk pen/touch input that works well, is the Wacom Cintiq / Intuos tablets where you can rest your arm on it while drawing.
