[csail-related] GSB Tonight: Cords.



Am I the only one completely sick and tired [1] of cords?  I keep tripping
on them, inadvertently pulling them out, breaking them, or otherwise being
annoyed by them [2].  Why isn't there research on "Cordless Technology"?
 That seems to me it would be quite worthwhile.

After searching around a bit, I see the closest thing is "wireless"
technology.  But that doesn't make sense.  How can a computer work without
wires in it?  Is this a play on words?  Will they be using something else
[3]?  I obviously don't understand this field of research.

Let's talk about whether I should finally start sending these in *actual*
rich-text [5], at this week's:

       +-                                                  -+
          girl scout benefit -+-  5:30 pm  -+- 32-G9 lounge
       +-                                                  -+

           For those coming from elsewhere: Building 32 is
            <http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=32>
       Once you are in 32, just take the G-elevator to the 9th
   floor and we will be in the lounge that you will be looking at
                 <http://projects.csail.mit.edu/gsb>


[1] Quote from my father, that.  He was never just the one or the other.
 It was always both.
[2] I felt like having one more item in that list (4 is better than 3, I
think) would be best.  I didn't know what to put, though.
[3] Fiber [4] optics?  Nah, that _is_ just a play on words.
[4] "Fibre" for the foreign.
[5] Whereas now I'd say -- while it actually *is* in (disguised?) rich text
-- I'm just sending it in Courier New.
