Using something with a Wacom digitizer is a better solution than what a pressure sensitive screen gives you which is in essence only mouse emulation. But the real issue is even if you get it working there are really no programs to make full use of the inking capability. For what you are talking about I think you would have a better chance of putting the iBook guts into the PC case than getting the hinge to fit in an iBook You might want to think of a hinge and slider mechanism such as this. Even if you have to make a connector that allows you to unplug adjust the screen and than plug the connector back in.
One last note I have responded to this post using nothing but a 3lb. slate PC Traitor you might say! Yes but I am a Professional and I need tools not ideology to get my Job done. Unfortunately Mr. Jobs does not want to offer us these tools. Joseph
