One of the coolest techie things I ever did was walk up to a printer in a library, point an Apple Newton at it, and make the printer print. That was a few years ago. I was so thrilled then that something like that could happen. It was two different manufacturers speaking some common language, without the need for wires! It seemed so futuristic. Infrared, radio waves, psychic energy, whatever. Nowadays we have phones, networking, more infrared beaming, and even broadband access without wires. The future is here. Let’s make the most of it.
