I have been a tech geek for many years. I have also been waiting for things guaranteed to me as a kid. They were supposed to be here by the year 2000. You know, flying cars and self-driving cars. Of course, we now have both to a very limited extent. As an adult geek, I…

The article last week regarding Livescribe generated many emails from readers, for which I thank you. I really enjoy reading about your technology thoughts and discoveries, as well as tips like the one I got from Lisa this week.
