I meant holo screen and also holo keyboard. I've seen the little salt
shaker sized keyboard projection device.
I don't like voice dictation at all. I like a good solid keyboard --
foldable OK.
Don properly -- research -- the tracking thing might be very good
eventually.
I guess good holo takes a severe memory volume to work. I wonder how long
for that.

Boy, suppressing change -- MS all the way.
Their "innovation" and "far thinking" locked them in a deeeeeeeeep bog of
"must not change."
I can't help wondering about confidence in MS, and as it dies, what will
happen more quickly than can be easily predicted -- "ticking time bomb."
I mean, can they crash like the stock market in the 40s?? Or can they
float on their cash adn stock game for a good while I wonder.
