   Drop a laptop on a 50's bar amid a bunch of half inebriated dudes and

wonderment plus the usual questions about what can it do? Most wouldn't 
have a clue about its potential.


Famous quotes by people who can't see very far down the road.

The airplane: "It'll never fly."

The computer: "Just a passing geek fad."

Etc.
