Using a stylus on the screen, you are required to write characters the Graffiti way--an A without the horizontal line, and so on. It can be a daunting thing to learn, yet after watching my techno-challenged mom scribble happily on her new Handspring Visor, I felt certain it was the alphabet of the future...

Besides their relative fame, as former members of the Black Dog—a pioneering techno outfit—and as one of the Warp label’s most acclaimed artists, Plaid throw all pretensions out the door. Their music is quirky and experimental, even resembling some of the insectile funk and robo-talk that had preceded them. Yet it’s a perfectly logical extension of the Detroit techno, electro...
