Yes, this is what I mentioned awhile back; I'm glad to see it wasn't just my
imagination. Hopefully it won't play havoc with the eyes...

[Moderator: "Electronic ink" was also mentioned on this list in 1999,
and papers and articles on the topic date back to at least 1997. See
http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/363/jacobson.html
for an early technical report on the idea, or
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.05/ff_digitalink_pr.html for
a Wired article the same year (which in turn mentions a variation of
the idea from the 1970s at Xerox PARC). E Ink's press release on its
recently improved display (the subject of the CBC stury) can be found for
the time being at http://www.eink.com/company/hotnews.shtml - JMO]
