- Have you ever seen a Workslate? It was from a company called
- Convergent Technologies (RIP)--a square plastic case with circular
- pushbutton keys in a fairly QWERTY-ish shape. A single digital
- cassette drive, a little LCD screen, and a phone jack. Most awful
- thing you've ever seen, a complete marketing fiasco. About the
- only positive claim to fame it had was it played the part of one
- of the control consoles in the Airwolf series. :-)
