I can remember sitting in PC Magazine's offices more than ten years ago, gingerly examining NCR's first pen PC.
It was big, and like most of the pen systems of the day, featured a somewhat dimly lit black-and-white touch screen. Oh, how things have changed—and how they haven't. GO Corp. was one of the players in the first failed attempt at pen computing.

In 1991 and 1992, many PC makers were jumping into pen computing feet first, producing a number of systems: the IBM Thinkpad Pen PC, the NEC Ultralight SL/20P hybrid, the NCR 3125, and the ruggedized Microslate Datellite 400L, for example.
