- | ===== DATA SLATE ===== | + | [[dataslate equipment|Data Slate]] |
- | Basically a flatscreen and an input jack, the data slate had all but replaced pen and paper. It fits in the palm of the hand and is operated with a stylus or NIJack. A 3D crystal slot allows the data slate to access programs and files for review on the screen. Although the d-slate has very limited memory, it can be connected to a larger computer to download programs and data, and users make liberal use of the 3D slot. | + | |
