Interesting 1991 Bill Gates keynote from Dave. Among other things Gates talked about tablet PCs and ink. Way back then. I’ve never owned a tablet PC but don’t see much sense in them. Seems like a step backward for anyone who can type faster than they can scribble. Update Scoble responds.

You’re absolutely right that tablets are a pain to use with handwriting alone. Fortunately, with a simple shorthand typing method, you can *type via pen* as fast as with a keyboard. AlphaTap offers the first shorthand software for Tablet PC, integrated with an ergonomic key layout. http://networkimprov.net/alphatap/
