Has anyone else noticed the interesting comments under "halfbakery" on the top left hand corner of this page? I propose that somebody build these into everyday devices, such as cell phones and mp3 players.
I would buy it.

...which these days double as cell phones and MP3 players. If your phone is programmable, I'm sure it can be ported to that, too. [DrCurry, Sep 27 2005]

After some thought, i realised that i can probibly do this myself, and if my tiny programming expertise fails me, I can make my brother do it.

Andrew: you will find this has been Baked over and over again - I first saw one of these more than twenty years ago on the university mainframe.

In any case, this is a "me too" - see the Help file.

But was it built into a cellphone, mp3 player or similar handheld device?

Ah, the “cookie” program, first seen in fortran on a PDP. - good memory Dr. C. This program was ported to *everything* back in the day.

You've been here since April and now just noticed them?

I can only imagine what size an MP3 player would have been twenty years ago.

I read somewhere they were called juke boxes.
