I had forgot about it since the days I had a loaner and was trying to push it for the healthcare market when I had a company providing healthcare management software. Then I searched the web to see if there are people talking about Clio while tablets have become so hot since iPad was launched, I saw this wonderful blog. It is kind of sad to see a good technology could not go further not because of their own design but because all other factors are not at the same level of developed and adoption. I am glad you posted this and I hope Clio people would see this blog and get a boost on how much they have accomplished. It was and still a cool device – even one of the despondence said he wants one! I found a Clio User manual this weekend when I was cleaning up my study.

I don't want that channel, I don't watch that channel, but I'm sure it's still rolled into my monthly fee.
