- archarios 7y agoThere is a modern version: https://getfreewrite.com/ https://getfreewrite.com/. It's way too expensive though.
- exikyut 7y agoYeow, US$550-700, that is incredibly expensive. Thanks for the TIL though
- ReC757 7y agoWOW. I totally forgot this thing existed... I had the “3000” one in high school. I remember it having a fantastic feel to it for being plastic. Other than that though, things like this were about having a system that you could write on without having to worry about battery life. Laptops were more expensive back then (oh man, I finally feel 31). Currently to take notes in class, I use a 2008 MacBook Pro running Manjaro w/ i3wm. I try to copy the instructors talking points with shorthand.
