I only used that because a 3 x 4 ratio gives a diagonal of 5 making
calculations based on the 25 cm (9.7") diagonal screen easier.

But then I used the Newton 2100 USABLE screen ratio of 1 x 2.1333...

And, AS I SAID, the resulting device would be the length of, and 1"
wider than, the Newton keyboard.
