- The company is called Arthur Dent & Associates. They are a group of former
- WANG Inc. employees that worked on a pen system that WANG terminated. Last
- I heard was that they had completed this retor fit for GEOS laptops.
- Basically they take over your modem slot, run a wire to a 'film' that fits
- over the display, and give you a pen. I saw the product demoed in Boston
- (in May) and it looked pretty good -- if you have a GEOS laptop. They were
- looking into other machines, but I haven't heard much recently. I had some
- info about them, but I'm not sure if I still have it (I'll look though).
