Amazing! Dauphin DTR-1 from 1993. This is a piece of history and still works 25 years later. This was groundbreaking technology for the time and in many ways began to shape what is today's cell phones and tablets. For those of you familiar with running a business, it takes a lifetime of experiences to get it right. For every successful business there was likely half a dozen failed ones, and the 'overnight success' that were 5-10 years in the making

. I have tremendous respect for Alan and the immense experience he has taken the time to share with me and bring to DNotes.

wowowowow

What an awesome find. Alan, I'd imagine seeing a video like that is like looking at baby pictures of grown children....memories come flooding back!

Thank you, MiningHabit. Until last week, I had no clue that this video was out there with 300,000+ views and 900+ comments.

Yes, it brought back a lot of memories for sure. Naturally, a question popped up in my mind - where would I be if I rejected IBM's offer the third time?

Never mind, DNotes is well worth it. I had always wished that I can leave a positive impact to help change the world slightly for the better. It is becoming far more certain by the day that DNotes is a far better dream than I have ever dreamt. Hope you all will continue to help make that a reality. Thank you.

I also had a chance to use this machine. My mother was a librarian at a prep school and somehow got one. She gave it to me because it was so very different from what she was familiar with. I then gave it to my son who used it for several years with no problems. What an amazing coincidence that I now get to work with the very person that designed the computer that was ahead of its time.
