Earlier quoted context omitted.

What about a web app? Whiteboard and video chat works great there, and it's a huge market :) ADDITION: After all, this is what Khan of Khan Academy does (he uses a wacom though, but then it's a end user decision).

I tried to tutor my niece in math using Google Hangouts and various whiteboard apps, but drawing with the mouse / trackpad was pretty difficult. Now we use Understudy and it works great, if I do say so myself.

To repeat what I said in the SICP thread from a couple of days ago: Folks, you don't need proprietary software or an iThing to get help with SICP. Hop on #scheme on freenode and check out http://schemers.org/ for resources. Get yourself a good Scheme implementation like GNU Guile or Racket and get hacking.

We need similar things to help us get through TAOCP, Hacker's Delight and Programming Pearls. (God so much to do... so little energy/time :( )
