    Since I eat like 4-5 meals (maybe more) a day, I wish could have a food materializer like in Star Trek or a cook droid like in Star Wars, or a sexy woman to cook for me 24/7

      If l could automate or at least substantially speed up creating party flyers, l would be rich!

        DONE! They did that, in the 20th century, in the early 80s! They have graphics programs where you can PRECISELY lay out in MINUTES what used to take days to coarsely lay out. There are then or at least used to be, ways to layout a kind of pantone image, or postscript. The only thing REALLY left to tell the printer is the type of paper, and covering, as everything else should be laid out in the file.

        Of course GUTENBERG, CENTURIES ago made as big of an advancement, though it was more basic and you would have to communicate more with the printer.

      MAN, you have SAID it! I have enough trouble trying to figure out how I should lay out files. I PINE for the flexible UNIX layout! Anyway, what about cables? cleaners? documents? And we haven't even gotten to CLEANING yet!

    Some more "anti-BS" Warrior Forum posts saying things like: "I'm rather surprised to hear that you're still using that service/site and recommending it to others, because it closed down in 2012", and "Please excuse the observation that sometimes it really does help to read the thread before replying to it", and so on.

    Actually I have some of these semi-automated, now, but even that isn't enough.

        Yep - that's the one I'd want, too. I was captivated by the roomba last year when I saw it in action. When it turned around and headed back to it's dock halfway through a room I thought it made a mistake - but no,...it was just going back to recharge and then started right where it left off.

        Obviously it doesn't take a lot to impress me but I really liked that thing.

          I want it all done for me, impossible to pick just one thing because there are a lot more important things to do than only automate one. I want a robot that can quickly learn to do everything I need to take over time-wasting tasks for me. That way I can focus on what's actually important.

          Maybe that's just one thing to automate after all, i.e., a robot that can learn.

          So, you have one and still use it? Asking because I am interested also.

        Interesting thought!


        My flyers are pretty complex, multiple layers, but l might do a search on that one, or see if l could hire a programmer to automate part of the process?


        But l do tend to cut and paste the text from one flyer to another, and change it slightly, to save time.

      Been done. You're too late. You could, however, make a killing if you know how to build something to deflect those signals.
