Re: Initial Impressions - first 12 hours

Funny you should say that. We had one of the first Betamax setups they made. The home player weighed about 100 lbs. and was the size of a large microwave oven. We also had the camera. It looked like...

Re: Initial Impressions - first 12 hours

Replacing the trackpad with a touchscreen seems like a natural evolution.

Thumbwheel > Trackball > Trackpad > Touchscreen. I still love the old thumbwheel, but then I'm a luddite. :smile:
