that was the wrong link anyhow

Albert's one of my hero's Van Braun, Fenyman

can't wait to see the wall

I'd take two, one right and one left Nitendo Power gloves you can pick up at thrift stores, go to radio shack, order a few chips, and then this mode chip for each glove and you can have a set of VR controls to type in thin air and stuff

you wouldn't have near a 1/3rd the price of that sucked

does look interesting though

sucked = sucker

looked again at that link, gives a good idea of where things could very well head in the near future which would be way cool

The downside is the 200 year learning curve which is beyond current human life span...

Weaksid, I never thought of you as an extreme computer Geek. I just asumed because you prefer not to sleep and had some spare time, you fiddled a little on your computer.

Jafo

let me know when they get that keyboard shrunk down to one finger.

did you know they took a guy who had some kind of medical problem that has left him totally paralized and he can only move his eyes. So they hooked two electrodes into his brain where the function for hand movement and finger movement is located and then hooked it into a computer. He now types with thought and moves the mouse cursor and clicks is with his mind..

wild huh?

Hardwired

what does his screen do when a good looker walks by?
can he blank the screen by thought?

somebody got 900 dollar left?

"The downside is the 200 year learning curve which is beyond current human life span" [ Jafo ] Jafo, is that learning curve estimate Oz-specific or generally applicable?

BKB....perhaps 300 for you...

"Hand support results in the elimination of the major source of musculoskeletal stress in hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, backs, and necks."...Isn't that what they said about that MS "Natural" keyboard thingy machigy.

Anytime you do the same repetative motion for hours you get problems. Particularly if it costs you $900.00

(Unless her name is Sharon and she is "Sharing")

ToeJo, your bad

$900 is just way too much. VR would be so cool to get or Hologram

$900 for Sharon? heck for $100 you can have my sister in law Brenda, it's all I can raise on short notice!

Question - Is your sister-in-law worth $100?

ummmmm

ok $300 and that my final offer

half dollar a pound + half dollar for each notch she goes up on the pissy attitude scale

, I'll pass

Jafo, just for informational purposes: The other day you put in a link by adding a space after the http:// part because something was wrong with my browser for just plain clicking on links.
Anyway the problem has been resolved by me using the repair option of XP i.e.:
Try repairing the Windows XP installation. To do so:
Turn off any antivirus program and BIOS-level antivirus protection. For help, see the appropriate software manual or online Help.
Make sure that the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is the first priority startup device in your computer's BIOS settings. See your computer's documentation for information about how to do this.
Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer.
When the "Press any key to boot from CD" prompt appears, press a key so that your computer starts from the Windows XP CD-ROM.
When the computer starts from the CD-ROM, your hardware is checked, and then you are prompted to select an option. Press ENTER.
Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.
Your current Windows XP installation is listed, and then you are prompted to select an option. Press R to start the automatic repair process. After Windows XP is repaired, you may have to reactivate Windows XP if you changed some hardware.
Not only fixed that problem but some other minor glitches and I did not lose any funtionally of any other appts.
Just wanted to pass this on in case anyone else is having problems with "default" setup's.

ah actually all you have to do is....

click : START : - : Run : and in the Command line Open Box enter:



/ rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance



click : OK :
the location to the installation files are embedded in your registry so you
should not have to direct it to any folder...

You will then be given the options to Add a Component or Repair

Click - : REPAIR :

and bingo...

you do not have to have the CD in to do this...

all of the IE installation files are located in cab files in your Winnt folder from the origional installation....

remeber when it said, copying needed windows files to hard drive for installation?

If your using an OEM preinstall, you woulnd't have seen that message, but they are there all the same, saves time this way...
