[Blindmath] thoughts on a PIAF please

[Opra, Lauren]

I use a PIAF fairly regularly. I really like it because it allows me to do
more with curved lines than the graphics program I use. I agree though, it
is not exactly a "quick" way to create graphics unless you are using
templates. If I really need to do something fast I usually use a tactile
drawing board but the graphics are far less detailed. I like it though when
I am in a pinch and something is better than nothing to get a concept
across.
