aha! InkWriter (Maquette)

A truly revolutionary product, aha! inkWriter allowed you to work with handwritten text as if you were using a word processor. You could hand write paragraphs, create bullet lists, highlight text, add and delete words, and even sketch and clean up drawings.

This is an original maquette (hand-crafted prototype) of the original aha! InkWriter packaging. Note the tape used to hold the printed image on the white box. Note also that there is no product version or platform listed in this version of the maquette.

Interestingly, when rotating the box, you can hear paper and a diskette moving inside. However, it is impossible to open the box without damaging the maquette.
