> some of his companies have made substantial contributions to pushing the frontier of technology (reusable landing, high launch cadence, electric cars, energy).
People he hired for these companies made contributions.
I have one, and I used the ipad alternative that a friend has, and the ipad is just better. I haven't used the RM2 in over a year, since the functionality is just lacking compared to even a paper notebook - which is a ridiculous comparison.
I suggest you eagerly await their downfall, as you have understood what so many could not: a $3 paper notebook is better. They'll run out of fools, eventually.
The RM2 also fails at organizing: no text search in PDFs and not in notes, if you don't convert every handwritten note into text on a new page; only tags, which means if you don't add tags everywhere, you can't find anything by searching; etc. It's extremely expensive for the functionality it offers.
Don't, it's just an expensive replacement for pen and paper, and the best overall pro is that you have your notes in one place. That's it. No text search, etc. make it so much less useful than it could be.
