Gadget Freak Case 129: Remember-It-All Electronic Etch A Sketch
Rakesh Reddy gives an old toy a modern twist - it records your works of art
Design News Staff -- Design News, November 2, 2008
One of the frustrations of the Etch A Sketch is its temporary nature. You put in all that time learning to draw and your little brother (or spouse) bumps you and it's all gone — your great art is lost forever. Rakesh Reddy has a gadget-based solution — the Remember-It-All Etch A Sketch. Reddy's gadget captures that otherwise ephemeral art and provides the ability to re-create it over and over. When the unit is in record mode, sensors in the bottom of the Etch A Sketch monitor the motion of the knobs and save the resulting motion sequences that can be repeated.

Are you smart enough to make a pdf or even a txt file that works?

Well, you are getting better, at least the file downloaded, but it will NOT open in Office 2003, MSword. I keep getting an error message about an invalid path or file name. Renaming the file did not work, and trying to open it from within word did nlot work.
please fix this!!!!!!!!!!
