Hungary Uses iPad To Draft New Constitution 157
An anonymous reader writes "Hungary is drafting its new constitution on, believe it or not, an iPad. Jozsef Szajer, a Hungarian politician and member of the European Parliament, wrote an enthusiastic blog post last week detailing how he's using Apple's tablet device to flesh out Hungary's new constitution, the country's first since 1949. Not only is Szajer using the iPad to churn out new constitutional drafts, but he's also using it to review new draft proposals. Apparently all aspects of the new Hungarian constitution are being vetted via the iPad in one form or another."

Try drafting one with a bird feather dipped in ink you made yourself, written on lamb skin, freehand.
Hell, try just copying one that way.

The only one that'd vaguely raise any interest from me now would be the one that goes:
