But I did not know that, and when I opened a copy of the New York Times Cookbook in a remote Schlesinger carrel and saw her name in ballpoint script written on the inside cover, my mind was sent scampering back to younger days when I watched her TV shows as avidly as I watched Sesame Street.

That's why Logitech created the IO Personal Digital Pen ($199), a new, cyborganic writing implement that bridges the otherwise mutually exclusive worlds of screen and paper. Here's how it works: the IO writes like an ordinary ballpoint pen, but it contains a computer chip that records and remembers every scribble. When you're through writing, the IO downloads your jottings to your PC, where you can either save them as pictures or use handwriting-recognition software to convert them to text in an ordinary Microsoft Word document...
