I remember seeing a slate where the dots stick up, and the stylus is 
hollow and goes down over the dot, making the paper form a dot. So 
you can write left to right.  I don't remember it being any faster.

Also, a good slate user memorizes the dot patterns, and lets muscle 
memory take over, ... you press here and here for this letter, 
etc.  If you start thinking about a given letter being backwards from 
something else, most people have problems.  They get confused.
