Hello:
If we thought GUI was moving fast, we haven't seen anything yet. I was
looking at Computer Select a CD-ROM cvollection of computer magazines.
There is a company that will sell you a touch screen system including 20 inch
monitor, computer and CD-ROM drive for $1500. For that kind of money,
it will be easy to build all the kiosks desired.
Curtis Chong was speculating on possible changes to airports,
With the advent of Quicket machines it wouldn't be hard to have a computer
controled scale and a barcode printer pringing sticky labels.
All you would need to do is enter the number of pieces of luggage you wanted,
put them on a scale to check for oversize and overweight, affix the
labels and push them into a shute. No humans required.
I aggree with Bill Gerey; we must get access or get left behind.
Robert Jaquiss
