Pontifications

It occurs to me Microsoft Surface Pro X is like a Dynabook (Alan Kay on the history-computer.com site; Alan Kay on the Dynabook in Quora I’m sure this link will break in a year or two :-) ! ) : tablet, keyboard, stylus, great battery life, always connected via LTE, just missing a great programmatic environment like Smalltalk but maybe webapps, Glitch, Scratch, R, etc are more than good enough?!? I think they are.
Or h*ck maybe an iPad with stylus and keyboard is good enough? But of course the iPad doesn’t do R or Smalltalk.
