Yikes was also the codename for the first Power Mac G4 motherboard.

Replaced by Sawtooth three months later. Worst-timed Mac purchase I ever made.

At least someone actually knows what they are talking about.

Yes! Yikes was G4 socketed modified board from blue and white cased G3 board, code named Yosemite! Sawtooth came with Gigabit Ethernet and the much coveted AGP graphics slot, rather the old PCI slot and 10/100 Ethernet. I had machines with all three at one point or another, since it was cheaper to get an entire machine than just buying a replacement power supply when it went on my Sawtooth G4.

You see, now we know for sure that you're a bot. Because Frank777 has no frickin' clue what he's talking about, and all the real kids on this board know that!

Add $2500 for the Apple tax, and boom!

The Wall Street Journal has an article about killer apps for Apple's Mixed Reality headset. A passage in the article provided a huge "aha" for me when it mentioned a file system that uses three dimensional space.

I understand that I am decades behind the research on this technology, but I had not considered how useful muscle memory could be for this particular platform.

Expanding the desktop could be fun. Drawing in Illustrator without the cumbersome artifice of a mouse, painting in space, all of the stuff that Minority Report brought into the mainstream, used in plenty of sci fi since then.

I know all of this isn't new, but I'm trying to get a jump on what to expect.

It seems as if gaming and design remain the current best uses for anything that you need to strap to your face.

And FaceTime VR.

Maybe some Apple+ content, like sporting events. Making serial programs for a VR only audience seems too speculative, but they have to begin somewhere.

WAIT.

One more thought.

Have we discussed the waldos yet??

The one time that I used an Oculus made me realize that handheld controllers are required.

I didn't love them.

I'd rather have gloves.

What will Apple do?

AR Monday?

Can't wait, can't wait!

I woke up briefly a few hours ago, right from the middle of dreamland, with the idea "Ranged Reality" clutched in my fingers.

I can only guess that it was geofenced boundaries around different AR worlds, but I feel like it was a bigger idea.

Probably already been done, and I just don't know if.
