Message #1 Posted by DaveJ on 15 Sept 2008, 9:29 p.m.

A colleague who knew about my uWatch sent me this:

Although the joke is on the person wearing it not as intended, I still thought it was quite funny.

1984 vintage.
It's actually quite a nice design.
The keyboard was obviously never intended to be used on the wrist, it was designed to sit on the desk and the watch just sits on top and makes contact so you can program it. Quite elegant actually.
