your talents are wasted writing RPGThis is probably not something that I should mention in this publication, but I've never written a line of RPG code in my life. Never. I stopped being a programmer and moved into the marketing end of things (for IT companies) more than 15 years ago. Before that, I was a mainframe business application programmer (in-house development at a few different companies). My main language was PL/1, although I once did a little maintenance on a COBOL program and coded some user exits for an application that was written in Assembler. I also worked with a couple of 4GLs. But, no, I wouldn't recognize an RPG program if I fell over it. (I tend to be very clumsy, so falling over a program is not too strange for me.) As to where my skills lie ... I'm still trying to figure that out. I'll let you know when I do.
Battery life is terrible. It has always been terrible, and it continues to be terrible. ... Better batteries have helped a little, but not enough. Fuel cells are a silly idea.I had an idea: How about highly miniaturized nuclear reactors to generate power for these things. They might cause cancer, but isn't that worth it if it means that you won't have to miss a minute of your favorite game or reality show? Besides, radiation is used to treat some types of cancer. Maybe they could be clever and use the radiation thrown off by the reactor to feed a device for self-treatment of cancer. Got to go now ... I'm off to the patent office.
