I agree with the graffiti comparison. I think Graffiti is preferable, also, because its characters seem to be faster to draw than the 8pen (to this day, I still write my capital Es like I'm using my Palm Zire).

Haha, I thought I was the only one who accidentally writes letters Grafitti style.

I was the worst at writing k's and x's weird.

At the time it was the fastest way to enter data, until the Treos and the original touchscreen/physical keyboard combos came out.
