All this news about Bill’s movements along with other stuff recently has reminded me very much of the first email I ever sent.
I was the only person I knew who had ever even heard of the internet. I had no one else to try sending one to. I very much doubt it was ever read – but it didn’t bounce. And back then, well before inbox-overwhelming spam, you’d have known if it did 😉

Twenty years ago people would have laughed if you told them that it will be possible to earn a living sat at a desk in front of a screen, tapping away at plastic buttons, moving a device called a mouse around on a soft pad. |

IN TWENTY YEARS TIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EARN A LIVING SAT AT HOME, WEARING SPECIAL GLASSES AND GLOVES, CLICKING YOUR FINGERS WHILE WAVING YOUR ARMS AROUND IN THE AIR. |

Hello,
My name is Jatarra James, and I am writing to you in hopes that you would be able to relay a message to Bill Gates because or Steve Jobs:
1. I don’t know either persons email address
2. I have an idea to share that I think would make them money
3. It’s a Friday night and I’m bored.
I am a gamer and recently I was downloading a walk through for a video game. While in the midst of downloading the text for this game I realized that the walkthrough was about 90 pages long. I then thought to myself this sucha hassle; wouldn’t it be easier to have a hand held device that could hold about 2 GB of space worth of information and have it displayed at your finger tips, instead of wasting paper reading through hundreds of pages of material. Something like a blackberry for gamers, or an ebook/journal/library for geeks who’d find it so much easier to use.
This device could also be used for a myriad of other things like downloading daily news, or perhaps look at the weather, accessing medical information, looking up ones email address, Send in a college essay over seas, and whatever comes to mind.
But for me I would enjoy a deviced that could let me download a walkthrough and then go directly to my playstation or xbox and kick some ass in the vitural world.
Sincerely
Jatarra James
