Key quotes
· 5 pulledWhat looks like a tablet/ PDA device can be seen on the lefthand side of Nedry's desk.
My closest guess is that it is a Motorola Envoy PDA.
But, according to Wikipedia, the Motorola Envoy was not released until 1994.
Does anyone else have any additional info on what this device is?
Maybe it's a prototype or early overseas release of the Motorola Envoy?
