“At first, only a certain breed of technophile or time-critical information consumer would be interested in looking odd to gain the power and convenience such an interface would allow...the computer professional. These individuals use a computer every day and find it essential to do their work...Even if the system was just sold as an expensive toy, a market may exist.” !– Thad Starner, 1993
