  I loved this bit: "The Note Jet is also a harbinger of future generations of mobile computers that offer many features that executives now enjoy in their offices. If a laser-quality printer can be tucked inside a notebook PC, it probably won't be long until we see built-in cellular telephones with answering machines, wireless pagers and beepers, send and receive facsimile capabilities with a built-in scanner, and even video cameras for remote teleconferencing." I was reading this from a tiny computer containing a built-in cellular telephone with (remote) answering machine, wireless paging and beeping (text messaging), send and receive facsimile capabilities (e-mail or other messaging, with images) with a built-in scanner (camera), and even two video cameras for remote teleconferencing. This paragraph struck me as remarkably prescient.
