Microsoft Unveils A Tablet Computer With A PenAPRIL 20, 2002 · 15:44
The device costs about $1,800, weighs 3 pounds, runs for three hours, and has been demonstrated at three trade shows by four manufacturers who are competing to see who can ship the least capable version first.
THE DEVICE. THE PEN IS ACTUALLY INCLUDED. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN TRUE BEFORE.

THE DEVICE. THE PEN IS ACTUALLY INCLUDED. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN TRUE BEFORE.
SEATTLE, April 20 -- Microsoft today showed a tablet computer with a pressure-sensitive screen, a stylus, and no keyboard, and said it would ship in June in the form of a convertible notebook sold by several manufacturers.
At the demonstration the machine was asked to find a restaurant. It found a restaurant. The restaurant was in Seattle. Everybody in the room had been to Seattle.
Corrections: none so far. Published items are never corrected, they are replaced,
and the replacement keeps the original in the archive, where nobody will look for it.
