> After returning to the U.S., Thacker designed the hardware for Microsoft's Tablet PCTablet PCs were way ahead of their time and suffered as a result imho. It was hard to find one that wasn't under-powered, and I suspect that it was a way to make them affordable, but hot-damn those things were cool.Frankly I'd argue we've still to perfect that idea. We've got those "transformer" laptops now-a-days, but finding something with a decent digitizer has still been elusive; or at least it is to me.Regardless, thanks for the fish Mr. Thacker, hope you enjoy your seat at the pantheon of computer gods.
