1999jan07. This is not a solution.
This is a nice little portable web browser machine that costs $500 yet can only be used 500 feet from the “base unit.”I don’t want to be tied down to a “base unit.”I want to go all over the world with my little webpad, pointing at things, surfing Superbad in San Francisco and The Finger in Fresno, wherever, whatever. I would never be lost – I could just pull into a Starbucks, surf some crappy navigation site, and then leave without buying any coffee neener neener. And I would store all my stuff on the web, so I wouldn’t have to swim through a paper sea every time I come home. That’s how important this machine, this very-close-to-what-I-want-but-not-quite machine is. Very, very important. And it should make ice cream. And kittens that you could just give to strangers. “Here’s a kitten,” you could say, handing this person or that person a brand-spanking new manufactured kitten. Then, while they’re all distracted by the cute little ball of fur, you bump them and take their wallet. I call it the Kitten Of Distraction Webpad Machine And Don’t Forget The Ice Cream Port. Oh, and maybe a KEYBOARD [laughing hysterically].
