dieseltaylor Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I just love the stuff he comes up with. Despite the cost this will be a winner. http://www.dyson.co.uk/fans/ and this is even better for people like me: http://www.gizmag.com/wikireader-pocket-wikipedia/13093/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I usually bag your suggestions out of habit diesel - but I saw a dozen people stand in front of that fan and none of them had any hair moved by airflow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 You traditionalist you - you want buffeting back! : ) I'll write and suggest for the Oz market a few ribbons around the periphery will be necessary!! : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Pretty neat, I guess I'll wait five years for a price drop. I am still waiting for Blu-ray DVD players to get down to $100. Not cheap, just not rich. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 I am not rich either - despite my joke interest in the 11500$ TV. Technology in TV's is going so fast now that one can quite happily miss a couple of generations and still be a very happy bunny. Good, nay great design, does not get overtaken very easily. His vacuum cleaners are still pricey even with competitors in the market. The patent protection on this is probably again watertight so I dont' see the price dropping for the odd 20 years! Thank god its not a film or book they get at least 70!!!! Thanks Hollywood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm still wondering why anyone would shell out $100 (plus upgrades) for a portable digital copy of Wikipedia, just in case they were more than a few minutes away from a PC/iPhone whatever. Pub quizzes, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Cheating - no fear. Simply to read at my leisure or carry to less enlightened friends without computer access! I cannot think how anyone of passing intelligence would not want to carry one. : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I cannot think how anyone of passing intelligence would not want to carry one. : ) As long as that only thing it is able to do, to my mind it is nothing but a piece of high priced techno-glitz. You'd be better off with an iPhone or something similar. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 EEEK no! It has a practical and an educational use which an i-phone does not. I can sit and read interstin stuff while having a bath, or more likely waiting for my wife, or away on holiday. And then there is always a chance someone will stop and ask you a question like where is Anapolis : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
