I still occasionally use my eMate. It&#x27;s a great distraction-free tool for writing. The keyboard is fantastic and NewtonWorks is surprisingly fully-featured. And it makes cute beep-boop noises.<p>There&#x27;s something fascinating about it&#x27;s bio-mechanical translucency. It feels like a computer David Cronenberg would design. I kind of hope Apple drops the minimal glass and aluminium look and goes back to that organic weirdness.
