There were 2 versions; one required a computer, the other had memory in the receiver. Regardless, there is a "fatal flaw" in the idea. You cannot easily and quickly use it as a full replacement for paper and pencil because you can't conveniently re-calibrate to a previously-used paper and the resolution is fairly low, about 100 DPI. I found it was an interesting toy but not useful. I’ve had something similar a few years ago. There were 2 versions; one required a computer, the other had memory in the receiver.
