Re: Typing in Trek
Hey...
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

Just talk into the mouse like Scotty. "How quaint".

the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to

Re: Typing in Trek
The line implies they have something better than a keyboard in Scotty's time - but what? There isn't anything "unsophisticated" about the basic idea of the keyboard, only the execution of the concept; wireless keyboard/mouse sets with features like media control buttons and other hotkeys are becoming common today and will continue to advance. With touch screen technology, you could easily have plastic (as in mutable) "virtual" keyboards that appear as needed.thelordharry wrote:Just talk into the mouse like Scotty. "How quaint".

Re: Typing in Trek
Anyway, we haven't seen anything in the 23rd C that would make Scotty call this "quaint," though we have no clue how they write reports at all!

Awesome. Now, did you come up with that Graham, or just find it.

Re: Typing in Trek
I see that while Graham has a spell checker, he has yet to realise why everything he types is underlined in red.

Re: Typing in Trek
Actually, it isn't. Every word in that little poem is spelt correctly - that's the point. The problem is that they're all grammatically incorrect in context.

Re: Typing in Trek
But it doesn't. There are no spelling mistakes in that poem.
Oh, what Seafort said. I type too slow.

Hear that sound? That is the sound of the whole point of that poem going right over my head.
