The Pen That Remembers
A bit bulky and cigar
like, an elephant among pens, Logitech’s new Io never forgets.
If you are one of those manic note takers who still find pen
and paper more effective than wielding a laptop from meeting
to meeting, this could be the device for you. As you write,
the Io stores your notes, up to 40 pages worth of scribbles
and drawings, in its internal memory. Later, download them to
your PC, with instructions sending them to email, Word, or to
your Outlook calendar. The pen actually writes, but uses an
optical sensor as it does so it to track your movements across
special paper. Your scribbles are stored as digital images. To

This Watch Is Never Wrong The Atomic Digital
Watch from LaCrosse Technology is here. This radio controlled
watch keeps in touch with the F-1 Fountain Atomic Clock in
Colorado, and remains perfectly accurate, as long as you
remain within 2000 miles of the Time and Frequency Division of
the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a
component of the U.S. Department of Commerce. A great gift for
anyone who values precision, this watch is the next best thing
to having your own atomic clock! To learn more, visit
