looking at other articles about that year's Fall Comdex (does Comdex even run any more?), I'd say you're on topic (http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/fallcomdex01.asp). I was with Compaq at the time, and we thought the tablets would change computing overnight.

I think I know a grand total of one person who ever bought one of them. :-(

I sure hope that the time 'round goes better for the Windows Slate, or whatever people end up calling it.
