Short Cuts:FAST FORWARD
Nobody ever said the computer would replace the pen, but if it
does, famous penmaker A.T. Cross is making sure it will still be
fashionable to have one of its products in your pocket. The
CrossPad ($399), a portable digital notepad, comes with a digital
pen and stores more than 50 pages of notes, to be transferred later
to your PC. The DigitalWriter ($12.95 to $250) has the look of a
classy Cross pen but actually is a stylus to use with personal
digital assistants and hand-held PCs. The DigitalWriter Duo
($34.95) does double duty, with an ink pen on one end and computer
stylus on the other. The most integrated products are the iPen
($99.95) and iPen Pro ($149.95). The first is an electronic pen and
tablet that works like a mouse with Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0
applications; the second adds software that allows you to mark up
documents and e-mails.
Call Cross at (800) 510-9660 or go to (www.cross- pcg.com) on
the Web.
