LGR Oddware: The $400 CrossPad Tablet from 1998

Video Description

A look back at the odd late 90s CrossPad from A.T. Cross and IBM! An electronic notepad letting you draw on normal paper, automatically digitizing drawings and text, and storing them in memory for transfer to a PC over serial! A remarkable yet ill-fated oddity indeed. ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Archive of the IBM Ink Manager CD-ROM: https://archive.org/details/ibminkman15a ● All background music licensed from: http://www.epidemicsound.com 00:00 An Oddware Introduction 00:45 CrossPad history 05:04 Critical reception and lawsuit 08:12 Unboxing the pad, feature overview 14:42 Software setup with Windows 95 17:27 Basic operation and digitization 21:09 Manipulating INK drawings, text 26:30 Summary (Cross Examination? ha) #LGR #Retro #Computer
