I have the vague feeling that at least one of Rodney's experiment proposals consisted of a lot of academic doubletalk to cover the fact that the actual experiment is geared towards discovering some way of building a wireless telephone small enough to fit inside a pen. ^_^ Either that or a way to get a computer to accept vocal input.

Either that, or a pen that triples as a pen, phone, and microcomputer. And it would be one of those cool pens that can write in three colors, and has a highlighter at one end.
