My dreams come true

Only 14 years late, my dreams come true...
Back in the 1994, I was in the US and got overwhelmed with the amount of information one can get over the Internet or on CDs. I though of an electronic book-sized thin battery operated slate, with no mechanical parts; pure solid state card-sized media. My professor at that time termed this "crazy idea", and I destroyed everything I wrote about it. But 14 years of research has made this reality. Read about the "iLiad "here
