Quoted from Shado1w:It looks to me that they built this one with a calculator. Not so with WOZ. Bummer!!
Next time someone is in Jack's messy office check around and see if you can locate a calculator. I have a hunch you may be correct on this one 
Quoted from Jvspin:I think the switches below the book say "switch mode". If so, I'll wager the book will be replaced with an LCD screen that displays the mode you're on in the form of a page. Hit the switches to flip the pages right and left.
The problem with an LCD screen is that the location of the book is in prime "air ball" territory. They would need to have a sneeze guard or some type of protective shield to protect the screen. I don't even think "Gorilla glass" would hold up all that well to a steel ball. Plus, a digital screen lacks the timeless charm of a regular book. My guess is that an LCD screen was considered but the idea was tossed out when discussing the pros/cons and the costs involved.
