It was developed by a 38-year old college dropout who spent the past 16 years handling baggage at Sea-Tac Airport. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/138884_airdvd10.html Hmmmm....This thing is going to fly! Another "Bill Gates" in the making. Only his name is Bill Boyer.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-10-2003 06:23 PM                        I can't believe this thing. There is no way it can hold movies AND sitcoms. There is just no way! It can even hold travel promotions? Can it hold movie promotions as well? How about limited time car dealership promotions?  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Make a Google Search on it and you will get several hits. Here is one: http://finance.lycos.com/qc/news/story.aspx?story=35618618  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I believe it only weighs 2.3 pounds though.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-11-2003 05:29 PM                  Dell?

Compaq Ruuuullez!!!!!!!!!!! Daryl, there is no way your laptop can hold movies AND sitcoms. It's just not possible. I am also betting that there is no way for it to hold travel promotions. All this future-talk is making me dizzy....  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-12-2003 06:06 AM                  Yes Joe I agree! Compaq is a cool machine. I bought a laptop one for my dad and I am sorry I bought a high-end Sony VAIO laptop for myself. I can't tell you how many times I have been tempted to throw that f*cking Sony thing thru the window and down the hillside to the street 100 ft below my house! The ONLY thing good about the Dell product is the "white" guy in the commercials... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-12-2003 06:36 AM                        How does it know what type of material it is recording? It sucks that it only records movies and sitcoms. What about documentaries and shorts? At least it doesn't record commercials!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-12-2003 06:13 PM                        I think we need to advance another 100 - 200 years before it will be able to record documentaries and shorts. I am still having a hard time believing in all this space age technology. Need to sit down (actually... why a I standing up in the first place as I type?)  |  IP: Logged
