This sounds like either the slack-generating machine of the future
(from BobCo, of course), or else a plot to TAKE our slack away by
making us wait forever for it...

Actually, I hear the new next will go much farther than originally
thought
and will include a new "thought interface" to save the user having to
type
commands and a new 3D "Smell-o-Vison" screen. The new next will have a
port that will link it to any standart
microwave so that today's users can cook dinner from their workstation
and
a new feature of the digital sound interface will allow us to speak to
animals. The new printer will include a special adaptor that will
create
it's own paper and toner from used newspapers you load in from the
side.
The optical drive will be upgraded once again and will the bundled
software
will include (along with the original stuff) full length digital video
copies of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the entire "Star Wars" trilogy.
NeXTSTEP has been upgraded and is now so easy to use that it develops
software the programer hasn't even thought of yet.
The Price? $69.99 plus tax
a revolutionary machine if there ever was one...
