Word limit in XP tablet?

I am thinking about buying a Toshiba Portege and was
trying to figure out if in tablet form, the computer
could substitute for a paper notebook. My main concern
is how the software works when using the electronic pen.
Can you continue to write say 1000 words with the pen in
the same way you can type a 1000 words. Does the screen
continue to automatically scroll like in word form?
Hoping to clarify this before I waste money.

Thanks

 

Microsoft Journal, the note taking application included
in the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system, is
designed to behave just like a pad of paper, only
better. You can adjust the size of the page similar to
the Microsoft Word. As for number-of-word limitations,
there is no practical limitation. I have Notes in
Journal that extend dozens of pages long. Just like with
a paper notebook, when your writing fills the page, turn
to the next blank page. Unlike a paper notebook,
however, you can add extra space anywhere in your writing
(to expand on a bullet point, for example), move your
writing around, and even bold, italicize and color your
writing.

There's lots of information here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/tabletpc/default.asp,
of course. I find that after taking notes on my Tablet,
I have a very difficult time using an ordinary pen and
paper - there are so many gestures and features that
Journal adds.

Thanks for considering the Tablet PC,
-Jason

As far as I know in windows Journal, you can keep adding
pages indefinitely, by tapping the double arrow in the
bottom right corner. Once a number of pages have been
used you can scroll up and down...and keep adding more
when you reach the bottom. I have never heard of any
page limitation.
