At a loss for words

Computerman I really not sure what to make of this picture. I know that the idea of the 'wearable' computer is not a new one, but this seems a little extreme. Perhaps this would be good for a caption contest - see what you can come up with. I do NOT want to know where the reset button is. On another note, in case you had missed it, Windows 7 is coming! Yes, now that you are just getting to grips with Vista, there's a new light on the horizon. From what I've seen, it's much of the same with some tweaks and cosmetic enhancements. After all, what do we expect of our operating systems? The ability to run our word processors and games without glitches or driver issues. Not a lot to ask is it - you listening Microsoft? I suppose once Windows 7 hits the street, you'll get the typical whining that nothing was wrong with Vista and why did they have to go changing things. I also suppose we'll get another round of those misleading, annoying and funny Apple ads again. It's the same thing ever since Windows 3.0 - yes, I do remember that far back. Heck, I even used a version of Windows 286 many eons ago.

About Laurence Cutner


  • Laurence Cutner moved from England to Canada 20 years ago and has lived in Durham Region for 11 years.

Beyond that he is an avid reader of sci-fi and his current obsession, alternative history. He has, in the past, backpacked through Europe and traveled to the Middle East and South America. His real boast is that he has been married for 26 years and has a son who is possibly even more ‘techie’ than him.

Comment Guidelines

  • We welcome comments but we ask that you observe our guidelines. We like readers who are prepared to stand by their comments by offering their 'real' first and last name - it adds validity to your comments. Stick to the topic and keep it clean. Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here. It's OK to be edgy, but if you're going to engage in name-calling and boorish behaviour take it elsewhere in cyberspace. And forget about posting under multiple IDs from the same IP address -- you'll get banned. Full Guidelines.
