You know that classic scene from one of the Star Trek movies in which Scottie visits Earth and walks up to a computer, saying "Computer:" in a ready for action voice and is momentarily confused when it doesn't answer him?

It occurred to me that we are on the edge of the no-computer generation. Yes, just like they are now writing articles about people getting rid of their TV access and just relying on the net (I do that), soon they will be writing about people getting rid of their computers, meaning those huge, clunky behemoths many of us have been taking for granted most of our lives.

Here comes the "computer? What's that?" generation. We will be switching to a cluster of smaller devices.

So when future generations see Scottie say "Computer!" in the movie, they will laugh like we did, but they will be laughing at the idea that people ever had such clunky devices around.

Didn't want to make a new thread.

Someone gave me this very old, but very cool mini-computer.

Journada 690

cpu: 133 mhz
ram: 32 mb
IRDA, PCMCIA, dial-up modem, CD card slot, com port.
OS: Windows CE 2.11, but there is also a linux distro for it. (Jlime)

Of course, n900 beats this thing by million of times, but if today was 1999, I would probably buy this device.
