^^^ that's precisely the one that i need.

perfect for math...


no chalks or markers. no funny smell, no dust. no maintenance.

love the precise erasing as well

anyone know where i can pick up one of these...but for adults?

You have to erase the board from the back?:confused:

I'd rather deal with the funny smell...

I do have two dry white board at my place.It's quite fun to do math.It's also better for my back and neck than sitting at a desk.I would recommend it to everybody who likes to brainstorm.
 
I've never heard of that thing. It appears to just be a modification of an Etch-a-Sketch, so the technology is about 50 years old.
