I posted the article in its entirety, so there is no need to go elsewhere to read about it unless you desire to check out the official sites for the tomb stone businesses.

I think you will find from my article that I really am not a big fan of this, but we do live in the digital world and we are part of it. Now even in our internment we will be part of it.

Article Ping!

This is an article about the next generation of tomb stones, the E-Tombs. It is quite interesting when you consider that we live in a digital world, and what goes digitally on line will last forever in cyberspace.

I would also like to inform everyone on my ping list that from now on, unless I have a video for you to watch, I am going to post my articles in whole here at FR for you to read. It will be in direct violation of my agreement with the Enterprise Record. However, they are already in violation of the agreement we have because of the inability of people to leave comments to my site, and for other reasons I will not get into. As for the numerous complaints I have received over the last few Months that many of you have not been able to leave comments, it will be resolved by my not requiring you to even go to my site any longer, unless as I stated, there is a video that you need to go off FR to see. I will post my full articles here from now on, if this ends up in them canceling me. Well so be it, it is what it is.

And so, you can still update you FB page from the grave and creep out your friends and family? ;)

Would it have enough memory to store all of my FR posts?

Try telling that to you children after your dead.

No, I wouldn't want to be disturbed. Someone tries to friend me when I'm gone, they'll be directed to my haunting list.

Token Ring was still popular only 20 years ago. I haven’t seen it used in over a decade. MFM hard drives were the standard until about 25 years ago, and it’s been hard to find a computer that can interface with one for over 15 years. VLB was THE interface for high-speed graphics cards, haven’t seen a computer with a VLB bus in over 15 years.

How long do they expect these things to remain usable? Bluetooth? How long is that going to be around?

Great, we will all be getting spammed and there will be nothing we can do about it.

I actually think that this is a neat idea. I wouldn’t mind having one of those when I pop.

People have posed the same question about digital pictures. No more images from the past found on glass negatives.

Now even in our internment we will be part of it.

Monica Lewinski will be so happy to find out.

Or perhaps you meant interment, i.e. burial.

“now your relatives will be able to make sure that information they find out about you on the web will be added and updated to the digital library of your E-Tomb, even those embarrassing moments you thought were long forgotten.”

Oh great.

Yes that is what I meant. Thank you.

Now I must head to work. Hopefully I will be able to follow the witty conversation there.
