Dang, I actually would like a Write-Top, and this technology at that point is impressive to me:
Using an advanced symbol-recognition algorithm, the Linus ("of or about lines") can convert your scrawls into perfect text at a rate of about 5 characters per second. It recognizes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
I'm sure modern tablets can do that even better but I haven't used one I really like the feeling of while writing.
