      The Wolf, We may be alive but I know what you mean ahahhha. You mean if someone sent today's tablet back in time to 1992, how would we react. We've had too much time to adapt with every new set of technology that asking us now would be useless, you'd have to ask us in 1992. We'd be blown away by the look of it, the speed, the quality, but at the same time we would ease into it and adapt rather quickly, compared to someone from the 60s or 1800s using it! xD Our toys were rather advanced in the 90s, so I think the reaction would be the same as when the iPod came to be. No one was surprised but everyone had to have it, everyone thought it was so cool.

      Apple’s Newton MessagePad introduced in 1993 was apparently widely used in hospitals. The at first derided handwriting recognition was improved until it was considered superior to other systems introduced years later. Staff or even patients could enter data including symptoms onto it.

      Samsung revisited the pen tablet concept too! Alot of their relatively newer upper-mid to high end tablets host the same wacom-based technology their pen phones have. While watching this on my galaxy tab which came with an s-pen and has the technology I have noticed some elements of the pen master seem to have carried into Samsung current day offerings too, particularly the pen, which the larger spen which comes with their tablets seem to take inspiration from having a similar yet more rounded(?) form factor and keeping the button on the top. It is super intresting to think about the fact that this mightve been a precursor to the tablet im currently using rn

They were THE manufacturer of RUGGEIZED tablets all through the late 90's to the mid 00's. I also own a SUPER RARE Ricoh talet PC with a pentium 90, Dual Scan COLOR touch screen with a CD ROM from 1995 ... My father and I would go out on sunday almost every weekend and go to CompUSA, Computer CITY and Circuit City to geek out over the new computer stuff. He was a DOS guy and taught me EVERYTHING i know about early computers. We hosted a BBS dial up at our house in the late 80's early 90 (before the internet was a thing) which I thought was the coolest thing ever.

      Apple made an unreleased tablet in 1992, and several prototypes in the 1980's

    Sounds like you gotta run SpinRite on the old drive. Having the vintage hardware that you've got, it's a must-have, and well worth it for even maintaining modern SSDs. There's a good chance it'll bring the old drive back long enough to copy everything across.

    I remember things like these... Still have one made by Toshiba in my basement. It was just as useless for 99% of users then as it would be today. You don't make these things because they are necessary. You make them to impress, to prove new tech, and to push the engineering possible.

    I am flabbergasted this technology already existed in 1992! It’s virtually a windows surface, decades before its time. The pen is almost the same. This is blowing my mind.
