[p4] Drawing branch-diagrams

[Rick Macdonald]

Automatically drawing something that doesn't exist sounds tough!

I've never used or even seen a "smart whiteboard", but it seems it would 
be an easy way to draw and update your diagrams. I found a 48" diagonal 
SmartBoard for US$669 by surfing the web for a few minutes.
