When my printer pops up an empty window, that's when I buy but do not install a new cartridge. That way I can use the "empty" one 'til its dry then install the one I bought. Allows me to get "the last drop". It always runs dry in the middle of a page but for the savings I gain in ink costs I can afford to reprint the page.
I am a senior citizen(retired softy) and have been watching this market. The iPhone
is the best thing I have seen yet bar none! I expect it will have great success. The
graphics interface with sliding menus will be its forte.
Don't forget the classic Amiga! That was a machine ahead of its time, too far ahead
I expect as it never got wide reception. I still have my Amiga as well as my Commodore 64,
TRS-80 and CoCo (TRS-80 Color Computer). I learned to program on these machines as back
then there was very little computer programming courses in schools. This was pre IBM PC.
Those were the "good ole days for sure!" IMHO, we'll never see this kind of fun again!
Yeah, here in Dallas Texas too! Got run off from a mall for taking pix of a building. There was a security guard riding on a Sedgeway that looked cool so I pointed my camera at him and he came unglued. Said that wasn't allowed!
This type of temporary blindness is an illusion. There is really no loss of sight functions in the eye, it is all in the brain. Our conciousness shifts to a different scene blocking out what the eye is "seeing". Seeing is a combination of the eye and the brain. If either is impared one doesn't see. People also experience this when dreaming. If, during a dream, one snores or swallows, the dream is interupted for a 1/2 sec. or so, shifting the conciousness from the dream to the body and back again. We only have one conciousness. It can shift to different things very quickly and give us a "multitasking" effect.In the case of watching TV and not "seeing" someone enter the room, The emotional shock of the story on the TV shifts our brain to memories that remind us of the terror on the TV, thus shifting out conciousness from the eye to the brain memory and blocking momentarily the eye data input.

Take a look at Trac Phone. It about as simple as you can get. Walmart carries them.

Looks like a Russian design. I guess NASA finally wised up and admitted the Russians have had a better launch vehicle design all along, brute force.

This one caught my eye because my first PC was a TRS-80 and it had OS in ROM :)
