Yes, I am. I was commenting on Apple, not Steve Jobs. Jobs was against using a stylus, in favor of using what nature gave us in the way of our hands and fingers. For some to say Microsoft has a major invention in the way of a pen for their Surface ignores the many cases of use of pens and stylus for decades. It's not new. I was using a stylus and drawing pad on my Apple II in the early 1980s (Chalkboard, which I still have). I've used a stylus on my iPad 1 for finer drawing than with my finger. And prior to the iPad have used a Wacom Bamboo Fun with pen to draw on my Mac. These things have been around for a while, very useful for precise drawing.
