I remember that text-based computer game! Thanks for that blast from the past.

Thanks for mentioning the IBM i. We, the beleaguered computer nerds who toil writing code for that O/S, have always felt a little left out. I call upon the /. editors to please correct the blurb up top.

Or you could just stick this Babel fish in your ear.

They've got their own built-in fail-safe device, ... a four year lifespan.

I am a good touch-typist in that I never look at the keys. With a virtual keyboard every key of keyboard screen feels like every other part of the screen and there's no way to tell what key you're on.

There is nothing higher than that of the party and big brother.

Said the "hunt and peck" typist...

I would have wanted the social skills training too, but I was also suffering from a low grade depression, so I don't think it would have helped too much. That however is not why I'm replying. Being a social outcast in my youth drove me towards all things engineering/computers. It was only years later that I learned I had gone down the path of computer nerddom. I wonder if I had had the social training and the proper medication, would I have taken the same path? I might have ended up as a film maker or an architect instead of a highly skilled computer nerd. This of course is all anecdotal, but if all budding computer nerds get what they need to no longer be social outcasts will the future of computer science suffer?

I hate virtual keyboards. The other touch sensitive concepts are cool, but I'm a touch typist and to have to use a virtual keyboard is the pits.

Do you mean going to parties or watching the Super Bowl?

Time for Ratbert to do his dance on the keyboard.

I'd advise Fujitsu to drop it altogether. Given all the jokes going around about Maxi-iPads I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that these marketing dweeds thought that it was a good name. When the presentation was made wasn't there at least one snarky employee in the back snickering?

That's a brilliant way to get you and your family into the US without having to resort to hiding in a shipping container or over staying a visitor's visa and then buying a fake identity.

A spammer's entire business plan can be summed up a "material falsification", can't it?
