"4 shades of gray ? GAMEBOY games would run well on it, anyboy want to write an emulator for it ?"

"Don't forget the communicators from "Earth: Final Conflict". This item reminds me of them."
(Hedrous 9/8/2005 5:43:24 AM)
"Think of the business implication. A managerial accountant will completely have updated numbers at his will anytime he wants. Amazing Idea, I love it."

"there was a movie that came out a couple of years ago called "red planet" I belive, with Val Kilmer as a "Space Janitor" and Carrie Moss. In this movie they used a portable computer system they called a "HHC" (Hand Held Computer) that used a roll out display as well as voice input."
(Rann Fox 9/12/2005 6:01:41 AM)
"Also, this concept was shown on the TV series "Earth: Final Conflict" and in the film "Red Planet"."

"I should probably read the other comments BEFORE posting my own, huh? Hey, well, nobody's mentioned the "updatable newspaper" from "Minority Report"!"
(Chris Johnston (cljohnston108) 9/24/2005 9:21:03 AM)
"Chris - Yes, I have that one here. You're referring to the homeopape from Minority Report and other stories. But you left out what is probably the earliest example - personalized news from Hugo Gernsback's 1911 classic Ralph 124c 41 +."
(Bill Christensen 9/24/2005 10:52:07 AM)
"Sorry, I forgot that the site's called "TechNOVELgy". I was referring to the movie version of "Minority Report", in particular the scene on the train where a passenger recognizes Cruise's character after seeing the live update on his "homeopape". Haven't had the opportunity to read any of Gernsback's famous work."
(Chris Johnston (cljohnston108) 9/25/2005 2:03:29 PM)
"Wonder wen I can get one..."
(Jim 11/5/2005 8:19:03 PM)
"Idoru? "
