Hello Maurice - 

CA>> Many people want to be like 'Spock' from StarTrek? I think
CA>> that's why wireless lans are becoming so popular, to link
CA>> back to 'the mother ship's computer'. Even your project to
CA>> computerize a wheelchair is much the same. All we need now
CA>> are 'com badges'. ;-) 

MK> Heh, heh. Too true but at least in this case it is for
MK> around the home rather then out there in the cold, cruel
MK> world where he  could pose a hazard to others. 

Today the apartment, tomorrow the world. ;-) 

MK> Also we were thinking of educational and work settings
MK> where you still have to be within range of the 'mother
MK> ship'. Many colleges are now doing simular things btw. I
MK> think it's a good idea. If someone intercepts the signal
MK> maybe they'll learn something useful eh? 

Nah, they'd just get a partial download of someone's CD music
files. 

CA>> It is vanity but it's also trying to live their fantasy of
CA>> being 'Spock'. People are just trying to have some fun and
CA>> do occasionally get a bit carried away. 

MK> As long as nobody gets carried away in a pine box because
MK> of this I don't have a problem with it. In our case we are
MK> trying to consider the consequences before they rear their
MK> ugly heads. 

I had a reocurring dream along those lines some years back:
