Is there someone out there that is actually manufacturing a "Dynabook." Are
there any computers out there that follow Alan Kay's concept? I've heard of
one from Japan, but I don't have any details. Any information on this would be
greatly appreciated.

The T1000SE is sold in Japan by Toshiba as the "Dynabook", with sleek and sexy ads. Their executives claim they will make a genuine dynabook, "like a notebook only smarter" someday soon.
