It's All Geek to Me

Here is the daily geek report. I admit it, I was born too late to be a real geek, so I am a wannabe geek. When I was a kid, there were machines on street corners where you could put in a quarter and the machine would dispense a quart of milk. For fifty cents, you received a gallon. I thought that was the highlight of technology. Has anyone outside of NJ ever seen these machines? Whenever I mention it, people are flabbergasted at the idea.

On with the show...this is what the world of notebook computers will look like or close to it by 2015. Most likely I will be too arthritic to enjoy them, but with the screens that are touch only, it should not be a problem. Gosh, I will miss all of the technology that occurs after I am long gone.
