The future is now

This sort of stuff really upsets me because it doesn't make much sense. I suspect this person has never tried a tablet pc -- because if they had tried it then they'd realize that it is a very powerful tool. I'm not just using the word powerful as an exaggeration but as a word to accurately describe the use of the pen.

It has never made sense for a human being's handwriting not to be recognized by a computer. It seems such a simple addition to a computer that maybe users don't realize how useful the feature can be ...

Now, I don't always use a tablet pen to input data into a computer. Many times a keyboard is faster. However, there are times that a pen is better.

Neither the Windows Media Center nor tablet PC formats will take off. Both will grumble along in background sales, but won't ever become mainstream products, nor even significant in sales terms.

OH gesh .. I get it now .. read this quote near the bottom and you'll figure it out too.

Quote:
* If you're buying a computer in the coming year, don't get one that uses Windows. It's simply too insecure. (Did you know there's a secret "administrator" account and password on every machine? You didn't? Every hacker does.) Get one with the Linux operating system installed (Evesham does them, for example) or an Apple machine running OSX. Both systems are fast, stable and secure. With Windows XP... well, sometimes two out of three really IS bad.
Uhm. I love Linux and use it on my desktop too. However, it isn't perfect and certainly is not ready for mass consumption. To suggest using Linux over Windows XP is just silly. Both can co-exist just fine and in fact it is a wonderful combination.
