HABOURG@BROWNVM.BITNET ("Andrew J. Bourgeois") (08/21/89)
Several months ago I read an article in the Christian Science Monitor about a portable PC manufactured by a company in W. Virginia. It's notebook size and has no keyboard, input is through some type of light/electostatic pen on the flat screen with software capable of recognizing handwriting. Originally, it was designed for use by legal and medical secretaries, but I'm interested in exploring some other applications. Unfortunately, I no longer have the article and cannot remember the name of the product or the company (whose logo is a quill, I seem to remember.) Does anyone out there in the Datasphere know of this company and/or its machine?
