Does MSN messenger for PPC support ink? When I say "ink", I mean the ability to send scribbled messages just like with a tablet PC.

For the last year or so MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger have natively supported ink.

Windows Messenger does not support ink, and if it does it's fairly recent - I know I had that problem with my friend who has owned a tablet for about 14 months. I had to get MSN Messenger in order to see the ink stuff he sent.

Honestly I'd like to see it for more things - I frankly don't understand why I can't have it on my regular desktop seeing as I have a wacom board. If anyone knows how I'd love it - just to play inkBall and to use the input panel (especially for Kanji lookups - what a pain)

Download MSN Messenger 7 Beta, it provides ink output support for everyone. And yes, Windows Messenger had ink support for about a year or longer, I know because I had a Tablet PC.
