> COMDEXTERITY: GADGETS AT THE SHOW

They sat through the speeches. They waited at security checks. They vied for taxis. But let's face it, what we really want to know about at Comdex is the gadgets. And while hundreds of consumer gizmos dotted the showroom floor, a few items quickly became the most talked-about at the show. In the futuristic realm, Sony's two-way communicator wristwatch caught the eyes of many. And when it comes to putting your finger on novelty, it was hard to beat Samsung's "keyboardless keyboard" technology. Some day, we may all make our typos ... in thin air.

> DOCS TRY ATM-STYLE PRESCRIPTION MACHINES

It looks like a giant ATM machine, but instead of cash the contraption at a Minneapolis pediatricians' office spits out prescription drugs. InstyMeds is the first automated prescription drug dispenser to hit a doctor's office, the latest in a trend toward computerizing prescriptions to cut not just drugstore lines but dangerous errors. The question is how best to use this technology -- as convenient one-stop-doctoring for the insured middle-class, or to cut the workload of pill-counting pharmacists so they have time to teach patients safe medication use.
