My-T-Soft enters its fourth decade
My-T-Soft has been around since 1995, done business in four different decades, decades that have seen massive advancements in technology. Back in 1995 Microsoft had just ditched Pen Windows and replaced it with the optional wimpy Pen Services 2.0 in Windows 95. Handwriting recognition was still seen as the key to success for tablets and handhelds. The My-T-Soft folks knew better: it was all about the (on-screen) keyboard. So ever since, they've been selling a growing number of programmable, configurable, customizable onscreen keyboards for any platform and application. Job well done, My-T-Soft!
