New Technology - Simply Amazing...

Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge

Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge device (BOOK).

The BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no
electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched
on.
It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just lift its
protective cover!

Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere -- even sitting in an
armchair by the fire -- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much
information as a CD-ROM disc. Here's how it works...

Each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper
recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information.
These pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a
binder
which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence.

Opaque Paper Technology (OPT) allows manufacturers to use both sides of
the sheet, doubling the information density and cutting costs in half.
Experts are divided on the prospects for further increases in
information density; for now BOOKs with more information simply use
more
pages. This makes them thicker and harder to carry, and has drawn some
criticism from the mobile computing crowd.

Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into
your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. The BOOK
may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The BOOK
never crashes and never needs rebooting, though like other display
devices it can become unusable if dropped overboard.

The "browse" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and
move forward or backward as you wish. Many come with an "index"
feature,
which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for
instant retrieval.

An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the
exact place you left it in a previous session -- even if the BOOK has
been closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards; thus, a single
BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by various manufacturers. Conversely,
numerous bookmarkers can be used in a single BOOK if the user wants to
store numerous views at once. The number is limited only by the number
of sheets in the BOOK.

You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text entries with an
optional programming tool, the Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic
Intercommunication Language Stylus (PENCILS).

Portable, durable, and affordable, the BOOK is being hailed as the
educational and entertainment wave of the future. The BOOK's appeal
seems so certain that thousands of content creators have committed to
the platform. Look for a flood of new titles soon.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif I haven't read a book in ages.

I have!

In fact I am! Blackhawk Down is my current read!

HAW!! Thats great!!

Used to read about a book a day on average, last year or two I fell to about a book a week.... Been catching up last two weeks though, have gotten through five and 1/4.

Currently reading TREASON by Ann Coulter. Pretty good so far.... I knew the generalities of the earlier stuff (McCarthy, Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss, etc.) she is covering, but the specific details are very interesting and I have never seen them gathered together like this.

Love to read. I have a fantasy about lying in a big hammock, middle of the day, 60 degres, little breeze, nice shade, pitcher of homemade lemonade and reading to my hearts content. Ok, wake up, it'll never happen.

that's great! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif

x-ray,

I really enjoyed that. Excellent /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I like books on technical stuff(electronics, computers, etc.).

Now see if you can find the press release titled "Homoginous non-woven cellulose membrane uses cylinderical graphite composite input device".

Emergency Back-up Device - P.E.N.C.I.L.
Primary Emergency Network Computer Interface Liaison device

This device is designed to meet short time emergency needs in case of a
computer operations failure, or operational delay. This device is the
Primary Emergency Network Computer Interface Liaison device
(P.E.N.C.I.L.). This device has been field tested extensively,
including
certification testing, as well as volume and stress testing. Properly
maintained, the device meets all the requirements for coding and data
input. Prior to use, the (P.E.N.C.I.L.) will require preparation and
testing. Tools and supplies required will be: A sharpened knife or
grinding device; and a supply of computer paper (with or without
holes).

Gripping the device firmly in your hand, proceed to scrape or grind the
wooded end until it has a cone-like appearance. The dark core area must
be exposed to properly function.

Place a single sheet of computer paper on a smooth, hard surface. Take
the backup device, place the sharpened point against the paper, and
pull
it across the paper. If properly done, this will input a single line.

CAUTION: Excessive force may damage components of the device or damage
the data reception device. If either the P.E.N.C.I.L. or the paper are
damaged, go back to the preparation instructions above.

Proper use of the device will require data simulation input by the
operator. Placing the device against the computer page forming symbols
as closely resembling the computer lettering system you normally use.
At
the completion of each of the simulated letters, lift the device off
the
page, move it slightly to the right, replace it against the page, and
form the next symbol. This may appear tedious, and somewhat redundant,
but, with practice, you should be able to increase yourspeed and
accuracy. The P.E.N.C.I.L. is equipped with a manual deletion device.
The device is located on the reverse end of the P.E.N.C.I.L. Error
deletions operate similarly to the "backspace" key on your computer.
Simply place the device against the erroneous data, and pull it
backwards over the letters. This should remove the error,and enable you
to resume data entries.

CAUTION: Excessive force may damage the data reception device.
Insufficient force, however, may result in less than acceptable
deletion, and may require re-initialization of action as above. This
device is designed with user maintenance in mind. However, if technical
support is required, you can still call your local computer desk
supervisor at (800)-YOU-DUMMY.
