His own words:"Tablet PC is by far the most physically comfortable input system I have ever used. I sit up straight for a video picture, but the rest of the time I’m kicked back in my easy chair with the pen and Tablet PC. Newsgroups are a long-time pursuit for me (since Win95 was in beta) and I’ve never read them in such a comfortable way before. The potential for new and original uses for this new interface seems endless. Previously, I have been an active participant in many newsgroups, including those discussing MSN, Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, and most recently Windows XP and the Expert Zone."
