Because of security regulations and such at my work, I've gone back to a small note pad and my old Franklin planner. We have multiple levels of security in different areas and doing tech support in all of them just makes it much easier to leave the PDA at my desk.

If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration...

Why not just have a large cube farm of women sitting there reading search engine requests, doing a look up of the information and then directing customer to information? They could wear glasses and have their hair in a bun, that only comes down when they're overwhelmed by desire for a games play, Star Trek watching geek?
Looking at how VM is evolving, I figure that OS's will become something similar to windows managers in Linux. You'll run the OS you prefer and run what ever apps you need, regardless of what OS they were written for.
Man, I totally blew it, setting up the house networking equipment in house we're building (ordered Apple WAP and Netgear Gig switch; ran Cat6 cable to main rooms). I might end up losing a geek ranking if this gets out on the web.
That's always been the appeal of the Mac. When I was trying to decide what computer to buy, back in '89, I was debating MCA vs. EISA, when I sat down at a friend's Mac. Was totally blown away, at how well it just made sense. I've had pda's and phones since Newton 120 but after playing with an iPhone (for almost an hour, posting to my LJ and such), I was flashing back to my first Mac experience. Yeah, it's missing features, is less customizable, more expensive, etc., just like the original 128K Mac, but it's done so well, it really shows how phones have been changed.

Wonder how long a human would listen to it?
Dude, the whole point is to get rid of people! That way, Mother Guinan can live in peace with the cute rabbits and squirrels.
I thought she wrote the Sorcerer's Stone. Changing the title a bit won't allow you to publish it.
but if she swims, she's a wicked witch and deserves to be punished.
Or, she's a church.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Um...he didn't get a blow job?
If he wants to do art, why not just wrap islands with colored plastic or set up really big stones in a circle?
Who's a tired cow?

Whew! I was born in '67. So glad I missed that Gen X label.
