Star The Edge Computing System
Linked by Joshua Boyles on Mon 9th Jun 2003 16:45 UTC
Editorial This entire article is written as a proposal to a coprporation for a new, very unique computing system. Please offer criticism and suggestions to improve the system, and tell me whether you think it could work. What exactly is the "Edge Computing System" And more importantly, why would I want to go to the trouble of developing it? The Edge Computing System is just that, an entire system, not just a new type of computer or new software suite. The Edge is the means by which you can have your personal computer with you at all times.

i think its a good idea

i am probably the least "tech savy" person to post about this but i think that helps me here.

this is a great idea taken too far. obviously the current HD model is limited and flawed, lotta parts moving fast, etc. what is the fastest type of memory we have? system ram can transfer gigabytes per second if im not mistaken.

the problem is that memory deletes itself, but i dont see why this cant be a whole mini-mb with a "bios" where u put any os you want in rom, run it on any computer that is compatible with all the card and the software you put on it, and do the obvious thing that Be did years ago:
just put the drivers "in the box" and if it works it works if it dont it dont.
obviously you could should be able to "flash" something and update it as needed, but we can do this already today.

the only thing that needs to be invented is a more efficient way of storing "optical redundant ram data."
