Ideally the punching mechanism could be operated over a phone line without the computer even having to be on

Tech: "What do you mean you don't see the 'Quake III' icon? Are you in another program."

Caller: "No. I don't even have the computer on. Do you want me to turn it on?"

Tech: "I see the problem." [pushes button]

Caller: "OUCH! My Packard Bell just hit me!!!"

Tech: "What kind of computer did you say you had?"

Caller: "A 486 Packard Be... OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!"

I would get computer controlled ironing - like I push the alt I key and away it goes! No more standing there like an idiot for 3 hours a week. :D :D :D

Just to be a little more realistic, I would like to invent a power connector that plugs in and pulls out without any effort but won't just fall out. I don't know how many times I have hurt myself trying to get a power connector out of a drive. :cool:

To accompany N8dawgs Holo monitor...
To say it w/o saying it:
"It" is plug-and-play, force-feedback, f**k-and-feel (my patent), hands-free, latex, heated, vibrating, interactive, etc...

I guess I will understand if Mods want to delete/modify this.

An ATX power supply with an integrated UPS would be cool...

And an OS with integrated PC Anywhere so I can fix simple stuff from home...

And I would take Plug n' Play to a new level, ahem, so to speak, to go with the above post.

Also known as the suck bot from The Man Show :D

A lie detector that would go off when users try to bs the helpdesk. "yes, I rebooted" "of course I logged in", "I checked all the cords" .............

That is, if plug and play actually worked...

I would invent a video card with 1GB of DDR RAM on board, that would be capable of display about 97.3 trillion megatekapixels on screen at once. Oh yeah, and it would also have like 2 GB of flash memory on board. Why? I don't know, but that would be cool. And the core would also operate at 5.223457 GHz, and you could play Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament at 91,519 frames per second. Plus, it would also have a built in DSL/cable modem, and it would get a -549 ping. Don't ask me how. And it would also be capable 265,350 x 135,600 resolutions at 128bit color. I know there are only 16.7 colors that the human eye can see, but this card will be so advanced it will be able to create even MORE colors.

It will be called the Cobraforce 9 Ultra Pro Deluxe, and will retail for about $4.95 US. And it will only be available in ISA.

A keyboard with an airbag for all those netscape java crashes :p :p :p

I would invent the new Bizarro Computer. It would come with a -1.0Ghz processor, -80GB of hard drive space, and the computer would be on top of the monitor. It would sport a video card with -65K colors and a cable modem with a -99999 ping time.

Oh yeah, and it would retail for -$1100. ;)

How about a notebook which can be overclocked! j/k

geez i cant believe we forgot ..

i would create microsoft ... ohh wait thats been done already ..

I would design a PC with all optical connections so the PC would run fast, cool and to upgrade, you would keep the basic box and bus and change the laser to make it faster. I would also utilize the Einstein Podolsky Rosen theorem which would allow instant communication over vast distances, the ultimate peer to peer network, spanning the universe.

How about an evil little troll that lives inside the case. And when the (L)user does something wrong it jumps out and bites them.
