You forgot the typical Microsoft style “busy box” it comes in.

He’s just getting visitor logs from his website. It’s not obvious from how it’s posted, but that’s all it is.

5-1/4 and 8" floppies.

Digital cassette and microcassette players would be nice too.

Well, my son is an Iphone/Ipad developer. (he get’s paid a lot for his talent) He’d like to be able to stream real-time video to it to control a remote control model. The 5+ second delay is not acceptable. He may have to write it for an Android...

[MortMan]

Actually, you made one very serious mistake.

no serious geek cares a whit about floppy drives any more. It;s all DVD-RW!

LOL

Stylus? Should have detachable rubber "finger tip" end.

One of the Firewire ports should be FW800.

One of the USB ports should be USB 3.0.

The Audio Out should be 5.1. Stereo is totally, like, passe.

And don't forget the packaging.

You're going to need a briefcase handle on one end to lift that sucker. Need ports for the FM antenna and TV coax input.

What? No pullout keyboard?

And I hope you can open it up and change the processor and the memory and the graphics card.

Paragraph 8:

On the back side is another slide out keyboard that is customizable in any language the user choses, including Klingon and L33t sp3ak.

[razorback-bert]

Bluetooth and a lifetime warranty?

[Spktyr]

There are already apps doing that, and there’s less than a 5 second delay. See: http://www.forevergeek.com/2010/01/parrot_intros_ardrone_remote_control_plane_for_iphone/

If he has a 5 second delay, he’s doing it wrong.

It has a FW800 port.

[dayglored]

> One of the Firewire ports should be FW800.

Should have been "one more" so that you have two FW800 and two FW400.

Serial ports?????? How can you configure your serial ports, if you don't have any serial ports.

In both 9-pin and 25-pin versions, of course. And maybe one in RJ-45 "Cisco Console" configuration.

[dayglored]

> It has a FW800 port

Yep, what I meant was to have two, trade one of the FW400's for another FW800.
