There were some interesting articles in the last couple of issues of PC
Mag (I think it was PC Mag...) anyway the opinion seems to be that the
tablet computers will take over a specialized niche in computing.  The
niche, it seems to be agreed, will be in the jobs of insurance salesman
and foreman.  These jobs mostly involve filling out forms and the like. 
Personally I can type a heck of a lot faster than I can write and I get
virtually no cramps (sans occasional wrist strain) typing.
