I remember it in my child hood with the same enthusiasm. You taught me some things I didn't know about it, like the top sheet is made out of acetate and exactly how it works. I guess I knew that the mark was made by the top layer sticking to the underlying layer, but it has been so long since I had one that I couldn't remember that detail. For me, it's been about 50 years since I had one. I'm a little older than you. You must be in your third decade to have played with it in the 80's when you were a child. Your article was very good, but I found it because my short term memory is really going. If I can figure out what I wanted to do, then I still do it pretty well, but often when I decide to do something, when the time comes to do it, I have forgotten. So it doesn't get done when it should. I couldn't remember what the name of the Magic Slate was, you helped, and it took me a few hours to find your article with Google. I couldn't easily find the search words to weed it out from all of the other drawing devices out there. So with the wealth of information you have given me about it, I'm sure I will find the Magic Slate if it is still for sale. If they aren't and the patent has run, join me, and we will get them manufactured again and make a lot of money. Not sure I would go that far, but it could surely be marketed to people like your and me. Anyway I thought I would but two of them and keep one in my car and one in my office so I could capture an idea or task when it first comes to me. Thanks again, Chick Hi Seven thanks for writing the article about the Magic Slate. I remember it in my child hood with the same enthusiasm.
