RE: Frozen Accidents
I'd rather use an Asimov pad than a Newton bw (backwoods as in obsolete) tablet! Why did they never port the newton os to other palm devices i wonder... Look at how long it took Moft to make the pocket pc os... Didn't Steve Jobs or his team of voodoo technology designers ever watch StarTrek? http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/technology/article/70189.html If only my rev dream could talk... I've only managed that in HyperCard so far... Anyone know a speech recognition external or how to link speech recog in windows with RunRev ? It would be nice if you could write to the rev console arg[] without launching another instance of rev.

Re: Frozen Accidents
Lynn, Dan, Gordon, et al: It's never about the technology. I've seen so many great technologies buried by inferior products that had either more marketing money or better lawyers than I've seen succeed. Add to that ineptitude or failure to appreciate the market potential on the part of management (eg: Softech Microsystems decision to charge $400 for the UCSD-p System for the original IBM PC when Microsoft was selling PC-DOS for $40), and I couldn't agree more. Which is why I feel Apple will continue to loose market share if it cannot bring touch screen, handwriting recognition, pen input, voice recognition, and WiFi technology to market bundled a la the various Windows Tablet PCs. Having used a TPC for about six months now, nothing would entice me to put down my pen and reach for a mouse, keyboard, track pad, or track ball.

RE: Frozen Accidents
A pen is easily broken, lost, etc...
And you can't loose a trackball or breakit!
And you only need one hand to operate the world!
Gotcha! ;)
The pen is quicker to point to the screen though
as i remember from my wacom pad on my venerable
last PowerMac 8500...
And i had speech recognition doing my applescript
batches too then! Such were good times!
cheers

There is software that does writing with 'Gestures'. If you move the mouse/trackball in different movements it will 'write' text for you. I can't remember the name right now though.
