This request originated via recent discussions on HN, and the forming of HARC! at YC Research. I'll be around for most of the day today (though the early evening).

The Dynabook was/is much more of a "service idea" than a physical manifestation (there were actually 3 physical ideas for it). Today's tablets don't fulfill the service ideas.
