I was born in 1961, and for my generation, handwriting is something you don't think about, you just do it.

The only software that ever managed to achieve that HWR theshold, was the Newton Messagepad 2100, also from Apple -- but a happier, kinder Apple, an Apple without Jobs...

So why do I keep harping about HWR? Because, and quite unlike keyboards, handwriting works without compromises on surprisingly small surfaces: You can write in the same way on a legal notepad as on a tiny sticky yellow paper; there is no such thing as "thumb" handwriting.

In fact, the only things you need are a minimally readable handwriting style (which -- I admit -- in itself might be an unsurmountable hurdle for many of the postmodernist protein sacks that try to pass themselves off as human beings) and a sophisticated HWR algorithm. Phatware has the latter: in fact, it is the same algorithm aforementioned Newton uses. All we need to do is launch a Ninja strike against their head management and force them to port their software to Linux -- preferrably to Maemo first.

Please trust me on this...
