OK, it's going to take some fairly hefty backend technology but it's well within our grasp to make a computer that's truly useful for the Romantic Poet.
Firstly, the monitor is a greyscale LCD panel that is put into a regular window panes. Thereby allowing light to still fall through it and allow
use in an unobtrusive way by staring out over the open fields (in a spreadsheet for example).
The user interface is partially touch screen and embedded around the window panes to allow the finger to trace the paths of raindrops as the user selects icons.
The secondary interface is voice activated (I know, tech. isn't quite there yet) so one can recite one's thoughts and feelings aloud and have them recorded for posterity.
The removable RAID array disk subsystem would naturally be in the format of leather bound books which could be removed from the bookshelf as and when required for maintenance.
Air con. could be of the natural variety since draughty houses on the moors tend to have pretty good throughflow anyway, especially when in close proximity to foggy lakes (where the mist crawls like a primordial phantom blah-de-blah, etc.)

There once was a computater for poets,
that would rhyme, thesaurasize and take noets.
I'm not a poet, but I know one.
So I thought I'd give this a bun.
I hope it doesn't get too many negative voets. |
