I have a very good friend that wrote for the Hartford Courant - a top
quality USA paper.  Until about 3-4 years ago, when I got him into Toshiba
laptops, he used a TRS80.  Most of the writers there had them.  He was real
rough on the computer and it held up for years.

So that would put the technology for Mali about 3 years behind. Not all that bad.

I agree that if possible there are much better ways, but for free it is better than paper and pen.
