You think that is crazy, I just watched a commercial where you can take a stylus and hand write what you want, which is then converted to computer text. I have a much simpler, economically and environmentally superior way to accomplish this. It involves taking old wood scraps, smashing and pulverizing them, then mixing them with water and bleach and flattening the result out into great big sheets to dry. After that we can cut them up, and put some really dark thick dye into little tubes with a tiny ball bearing at the end, and then scrape the bearing over the slices of bleached wood pulp!
I agree there are some disadvantages, but it will be extremely cheap, universally compatible, multi lingual, and extremely resistant to shock, loss of power, storage failure and electromagnetic pulses.

If Apple does this I will seriously consider moving to Linux. It used to be that Apple made stoves that you could just turn on and cook with, but increasingly they are making stoves that choose your cooking temperature and time for you and have hidden knobs the size of pushpins if you want to do anything different. It will take a really bad move on their part for me to go to a system where in order to cook dinner I have to collect the firewood, build a grill, and amass a collection of thermometers, but they look as if they might be getting there. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
