This morning the big news was about a secret "IT" developed by a renownd inventer and scientist, to be unveiled next year. Metcalf, who helped found the internet, along with Al Gore I guess, said it was bigger than panty hose (women may have something to say about that) and even potentially bigger than the net itself. He said most households will probably have at least two. So there are big dollars at stake.
What do you think IT is ? I think it has something to do with the sign business. I'm baini' out ! Argggghh.....

I think that "IT" belongs to "THEM" and "THEY" only want money from the government to study"IT" some more,before releasing to "US" "WE" might have to band together to repress the price of what ever "IT"is and how much such a thing would cost "US" I would "THINK"

WARNING:Serious Computer Geek Information Ahead!!! Proceed With Caution!!!
Here is my guess; “Continual Anticiparallelism” or “Continual Computation.” Depends which one you listen to, Bob Metcalfe or Eric Horvitz. Another long shot would be something regarding Nanotech, but Metcalfe isn’t very active in that field. Big news in that arena would come from Eric Drexler and the Foresight Institute.
Very informative information, but real “snoozer” material if your not into “IT.”
So, who’s going to remind us in a year what “IT” turns out to be?
