Yet another tale I've read has Clark slowing down to allow the computer to catch up.

Someone somewhere has to give Clark an HP 200LX Palmtop .

I have one, it is possible to type rapidly on it and it is small enough to fit inside hie aura. So when he goes to superspeed mode it would as well.

I've got one sitting in a drawer. I used it from 1998 to 2004 and in some ways it was a much better PDA than my iPaqs and such.

OK the 200lx didn't arrive till 1994, the 100lx till 1993 but the 95lx was available in 1991. Clark could have obtained one.

I can even picture him with the special version of ACT! made for it to keep track of everyone he meets.

Clark would love the simple flat database files available for the 200lx series.

wow... way too much lingo there for me to make heads or tales out of this one....

except for the number of times I use my work computer (which is really really slow) and find myself two sentences ahead of the computer's ability to cope with my typing speed....

so I can definitely sympathise with CK here

Sorry HP 200LX is an older tiny tiny dos palmtop computer. Full keyboard would easily fit inside Clark's aura.

Ditto the Jornada 720, which was about the best of their pocket computers with a full keyboard and has a version of Windows and a colour screen. I have one and love it, but would love it a lot more if it had a LOT more RAM, storage, and speed - but like all of these machines I really doubt that it would keep up with Clark's typing speed. But there are alternatives - see, for example, the Wikipedia article on chorded keyboards:
