I’m moving into a new apartment soon, and that fancy glass whiteboard (they write on it, with a marker, like it’s a whiteboard, but it’s glass!) thingy they have in the hospital looks like it’d make a nice addition to my living room. Does anyone have any idea where I can buy one of them? I’d provide a picture, but my Google-Fu is weak, and yields nothing.

I would think any piece of glass would make an acceptable surface for dry-erase markers.

Actually, wet-erase (overhead transparency) markers work MUCH better on glass. And yes, any piece of glass will do.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who covets their boards. I have a 4x6 normal whiteboard for my wall but I haven’t hung it.
