A few selected comments from the video. RedBearAK2 months ago I bought a DTR-1 from Heartland for $849 and absolutely loved it despite all of its limitations. I was the only person in my high school in 1994-ish who could pull a keyboardless tablet PC out of my book bag. It felt like holding the future. I still remember the feel of the textured plastic case and the fun of pulling the sliding cover off to reverse it to protect the screen during transport. The keyboard was tiny and terrible, but I still kind of enjoyed it. I would probably still pull the DTR-1 out every now and then to play with today but the PS/2 keyboard port broke off the motherboard and the whole thing became pretty useless. Good memories though. Downloaded a lot of, uh... files... from Usenet with the built-in 9.6k dial-up modem. Razvan Rogoz2 months ago Look, by today's standards, it sucks but this was space age technology back in 1993. We're talking about an age where desktop computers were considered very high tech devices. Having a device that had a touch-screen, was portable and had a two hour battery life (when most mobile phones couldn't last that much) was extraordinary. Maybe it wasn't built up to proper standards (therefore, being a failure) but the idea behind it, what it could achieve was extraordinary. In 2017, a $25 tablet is better yet in 1993, this was years before its time. Anthony Nixon2 months ago Alan has a book out now called "The Four Pillars of Business Success". I wonder if it makes any reference to this? His LinkedIn profile is rather interesting to look at. Eric Grumling2 months ago I picked up one of these at a hamfest in 1995 or so, supper cheap. I think I had to track down a suitable power supply, probably from Radio Shack. I managed to get the hard drive running by installing it in another computer and loading up Windows. I'm not exactly sure where I got the Pen utilities from but it seemed to work fine. It became my control center for my X-10 home automation system and worked very well in that role for a few years. Forcemaster20002 months ago Seems like Dauphin was ahead of their time. They had the right ideas, the technology of the time just wasn't up to the task. Chris Ayres2 months ago Well as much of a joke as it is today , this is an important PC as it is the first Tablet PC it is amazing to think the technology existed to make a tablet back in 93 when most people myself included did not even own a PC as they were very expensive , here in the UK where im from the cheapest desktops in 93 started at £ 800 i did not get my first PC till 1998 when prices came down to a more sensible £400 lol Mauricio Espinosa2 months ago this reminds me of the pocket pc and windows mobile 2003 se. Trusteft2 months ago I don't know if it was the same or not, but I remember seeing a very similar computer back in 1995 when a group of American technicians came aboard our ship to test some of the onboard ASW systems. Unfortunately my memory of the exact computers is not the best, it's been over 20 years after all. Sean Blargh2 months ago Watching this video on an iPad Pro with a Smart Keyboard (I bought on eBay for about 75% off the original price) and an (used) Apple Pencil. This nifty little device would have blown away the makers of this back in the early 1990s. The pencil works almost identical to a proper pencil, with pressure sensitivity, everything about it is just great. DarkLinkAD2 months ago Managment used these in "Target", 2006 IIRC Thomas Carpenter2 months ago had a friend that used it mainly to setup network switches with the serial port  Joshua Chap2 months ago I remember seeing this thing back in the day in a hospital I stayed at for a short while in the mid 90s dj PeK2 months ago i played with one of these in 95, almost *censored*. runs dos games well Cesar Cardoso2 months ago (edited) I have one of these computers - no stylus, PS2 keyboard connection has broke, sometimes it simply forgets everything about calibration and date and time and HD and everything. No serial mouse handy means using Windows with my normal PS2 keyboard... but hey, previous owner installed Wolfenstein 3D and is kind of playable. Brooks' Personal Looks2 months ago (edited) Man, this was more advanced than my first 386 computer, at least in theory! Had no idea there was a tablet this early on! Thanks for the history lesson, teacher! Magna Ryuu2 months ago First thing that comes to mind is taking this gutting it and making it into a kind of ShadowRun/Cyberpunk Hacker Board. albear9722 months ago Ancient Chinese proverb, "If you are a little mouse, don't dance with an elephant" Krzysztof Piskorz2 months ago I've thought, that my 1998 Fujitsu-Siemens B142 was an ultrabook before ultrabooks, but this... It blows my mind. Homer Cooper2 months ago Always interesting when a company tries to to do something bold like this. Often a bit to early. Within 10 yrs we had cellphones more powerful then this. 997102 months ago i thought the hp LX series of palmtops were were cool for their time because they ran full DOS but the DTR blows them out the water in comparison Thanks, Joe. It brings back a lot of memories. There is no such thing as an over-night success and we have to take the good with the bad. On balance I am honored to have make a difference at an important point in the evolution of portable computer and wireless communication. We trust that DNotes will be another significant contribution that we all can be proud of. |

Has our industry reached the point that it is unstoppable? As of this morning, the Market Cap has reached $831,156,591,714 with a 24h Vol. of $45,514,621,586 . That is quite astonishing, considering that Apple, the largest U.S. company has a market cap of $898.5 billion and the not so industry friendly bank, headed by Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase has a market cap of $375.91 billion.
While nothing is truly unstoppable, I have to say we are close. An even better metric then the market cap is adoption of crypto in general. If you read the recent news about Bittrex and several other exchanges temporarily halting new user signups, you can see where this is going. I think it was Bittrex that was seeing 250,000 new accounts creations a day. Yes, 250k in each 24hr period. Three other exchanges have also paused new signups due to 75,000 to 80,000 new signups daily. That is the statistic that shows me we may have obtained critical mass. RJF, it certainly looks that way - at least in terms of people coming out of everywhere, not wanting to miss the boat. Just hope that they get onto the right boat. |

https://youtu.be/DaQR4jk1voQAmazing! Dauphin DTR-1 from 1993. This is a piece of history and still works 25 years later. This was groundbreaking technology for the time and in many ways began to shape what is today's cell phones and tablets. For those of you familiar with running a business, it takes a lifetime of experiences to get it right. For every successful business there was likely half a dozen failed ones, and the 'overnight success' that were 5-10 years in the making . I have tremendous respect for Alan and the immense experience he has taken the time to share with me and bring to DNotes. When I met Alan for the first time, way back in 2001, he was using this funny little “computer” (the DTR). It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I had hired a consulting company, way back in 2001, and Alan was the consultant they had sent out from Chicago. I hired him again, twice, once in 2002, and once in 2004. He was still using that funny little PC, hooked to a Cannon portable printer. I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands of copies he printed on that thing, but I know he printed thousands of copies off of it just for me. I will never forget the day I met Alan. I knew, before those three days he spent with me were up, that I HAD to get to know this man better. I could see the genuis in this man. I knew that together, we could, and would, change the world. That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Now, Alan is one of my dearest friends, my closest advisor, and mentor. We met Joe a few years later, and the rest is history, the greatest part of which has still not been written...........(in other words, the best is yet to come!!) Thank you, Kevin. We are blessed to have met. Set-back in life is not always a bad thing. I made my contribution in the world of personal computers and now privileged to make a difference in the greatest technology revolution since the Internet. Together with your continued support and that of our community we could indeed help change the world. Yes, let's give it our best shot. |

I completed my purchase. I look forward to a sharp increase in price. I hope DNotes 2.0 will be released in February (18th is a historic day for DNotes) Excellent, and thank you, Obrien-Harold. I don't know about a sharp increase, but a healthy gradual increase is usually more sustainable. It will also give more people a chance to participate. DNotes is very committed in inclusion of all, with a strong commitment to mass acceptance of DNotes one day. February 18th, 2018, being DNotes' 4th birthday is indeed historic. Although we can probable pull it off, the trade-off of a short-cut or skipping certain features may not be a wise move. I am sticking my neck out a little without consulting our team. Let's shot for March 18th, 2018. Hope someone will protect me if I get in trouble. LOL |

It sure is incredible watching a company whose rich history dates back to 1888 try to make a resurgence on blockchain. I think they're onto something with this idea, and investors seem to agree! |

This is a very interesting one. Kodak, being an industry outsider, taking on a large project as they recognize the value and potential in blockchain and how it can tie into their company. Companies such as these getting involved lends a little more credibility to our industry. |

Will this be the rule or the exception? Despite many warnings from regulators around the world, ICOs have not slowed down. ICO JANUARY 10, 2018 11:02 Cease and Desist! Malaysia’s Securities Watchdog Puts Brakes on ICOMalaysia’s statutory securities regulator and watchdog has issued a cease an immediate cease and desist to a startup’s initial coin offering (ICO). With a statement on Tuesday, the Securities Commission (SC) Malaysia ordered the CopyCash Foundation to “immediately cease and desist all its proposed activities including a purported plan to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO)”. CopyCash describes itself as a decentralized social travestying (trading and investing) blockchain platform on its website, enabling travestying in foreign exchange markets and cryptocurrencies. The directive came ahead of the intended launch of the startup’s ICO today. The ban follows a previous statement by the regulator on January 5 when the authority stated it “will be calling in key officers” from CopyCash to “inquire into its activities including the purported launch of CopyCashCoin (CCC).” The regulator also noted that it had seen an increase in ICOs “soliciting investments in cryptocurrencies from the public at large, including senior citizens.” After the inquiry, the SC wrote in its statement yesterday: “The [cease and desist] directive was issued by the SC following its inquiry after it found that there is a reasonable likelihood that disclosures in CopyCash Foundation’s white paper and representations to potential investors will contravene relevant requirements under securities laws.” The securities regulator’s swift action notably follows a public notice cautioning the publicover ICO-related investments, in September 2017. The authority urged investors to “fully understand” what’s on offer with a digital token sale, adding ICO operators could include disclaimers that would absolve them from “certain responsibilities and obligations.” In its statement last week, the Securities Commission confirmed it will continue to put a spotlight on ICO activities in Malaysia alongside the country’s central bank. “The SC continues to work with Bank Negara Malaysia and other enforcement agencies, including our foreign counterparts, to closely monitor such activities and will take appropriate action where necessary,” the watchdog stated.

Reg. D 506 (c) is a significantly less burdensome process with no requirements for audited financial statements. “Kodak has partnered with London firm Wenn Media Group for a planned initial coin offering (ICO) that will begin January 31, 2018.

This is very helpful. As we approach DNotes' 4th Birthday on February 18, 2018, it will be a good thing to revisit the many projects that we have been involved in as a part of our multiple missions to build a trusted brand, make DNotes accessible to everyone, involve the under-represented female population and much more - as the best means of ultimately realizing our vision of a digital currency gaining mass acceptance in global commerce. I strongly encourage our community to participate. We have been working long and hard for the last four years. This is the time to take pride and help share the DNotes story. Those who want to earn some DNotes, I suggest that you post a DNotes deposit address. I do not encourage begging but there is nothing wrong to reward extra efforts. Thank you. |

Good thing DNotes are thinking ahead! |
