Y aye
Lew than two hours later I was ensconced me af
airliner coach scat and bound for the West Coss. A
carry-on containing various necessities I dkin't
want to give the airline a chance to lose was wonder the
seat in front of me. A briefcase was on my knees, conm-
my mobile antivirus lab: a laptop computer,
raining
CD-ROM, and a modem. Some people ask me why 1
iJ] lug a laptop around, when the newer notebook and
computers are so light, compact, and power-
top :
ful. For one thing, I like a real keyboard; Chiclets are
fine for chewing, lousy for typing on. For another, my
contains three coprocessor boards that allow me
to run just about any currently used operating system—
try that with a palmtop.

could fill me in on some more details.
“Goodknight,”” he said, “is an AI program that is
eed to teach itself how to play chess.”
@vilmibm my keyboard holds its flavor even after hours of typing/chewing!
@vilmibm nobody asks why they still lug that laptop around
@vilmibm what manner of cave-person uses chiclets when you have PalmOS Graffiti? 
@lonnon who owns Graffiti 1 now days?
That portfolio, oddly enough, does not include Graffiti 1. PalmSource was forced to stop using it by a patent lawsuit from Xerox. After being injuncted from using Graffiti (and forced to pay $US 22.5 million in licensing fees), PalmSource licensed the inferior Jot input system and rebranded it as Graffiti 2.
The original work by Xerox PARC, called Unistrokes, was never productized as far as I know. But they sure as hell enforced their patent.
@lonnon ah yes when companies sit on a trove of knowledge and keep anyone from using it even while they don't use it themselves.
There should be a law making companies use it or lose it.
