    It looks like a really cool way to possibly incorpoate corporate logos into packaging and make it a little free advertising. The Cisco logo came to mind as being a primary example. Its already damn near a barcode. Maybe an Apple shaped one. The possibilities are actually endless. I hope it catches on. #barcodes

    in some of those parts, wouldn't just a rounded U turn be much more energy conservative than that?

    Meh. I actually just went out earlier this year and bought two CRT TVs. Got a 13" and a 27" for a fraction of what it would have cost me to buy a single 19" flat-panel TV.

    Oh, and BTW, the term "flatscreen" refers only to the shape of the actual screen surface, not the TV in its entirety. That 13" TV is actually a flatscreen CRT.

    I'd also say that what I miss more than boomboxes in general is boomboxes that are designed to be an all-in-one solution. Do you know how hard it is to find a portable stereo that has both an actual radio receiver and some means by which you can plug an iPod into it? And not have it sound like a WWII-era radio? They're out there, but I'd rather not have to drop several hundred dollars on something that sounds like a basic $100 stereo.

    @Purple Dave: Actually, a lot of WWII-era radios sound incredibly good. The downside was the hot, fragile, power-sucking tubes they used, not the quality of sound they put out.

    @Counterglow:
    True, that was likely more a problem with the recording process that caused everything to came out kinda tinny sounding.

    you are all a hoot. i know i am showing my age - will be 60 the 26th - but always young at heart and learning technology at a later age due to added to my job a few years back and actually loving it. it is so cool to see your responses to alll the progress over the years. i still have my 17" although color tv from 83 that looks as clear as the new ones. cannot bring myself to replace it. it has been interesting watching all the changes. found a couple of slide rules from my second time out in college before calculators. see if any of you even know what they are!!! i even still have that same polaroid!! times they are a changing and you are definitely bringing a great deal to the table i wish i had many years ago. i have been a nurse and educator for 33 years and sure could have made life a great deal easier and saved so many hours. i finished my masters 4 years ago that would have taken at least 3 times as long going to the library and researching everything we can do online now. thanks for all you have to say. i learn from you all everytime i read
