@jamesthomson I’m sure that I’m not the first since Gruber, but here’s my silly self 😄

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@cookie_lust Not the first, but I certainly enjoy seeing all of these! :)

@jamesthomson @gruber The future is weird.

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@blankbaby @gruber The future's so bright, we gotta wear shades.

michaelgemar, 3 months ago

@jamesthomson @blankbaby @gruber A highly apropos deep cut.

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@michaelgemar @blankbaby @gruber Now to put together a fake Vision Pro commercial with that track.

emcro, 3 months ago

@gruber @jamesthomson I’ll raise the stakes and offer two prizes for a screenshot of CardPointers running on Apple Vision Pro.

(Glad I only have to be envious for 13 more hours!)

@gruber @jamesthomson wait is the Vision Pro gonna bring bring MySpace mirror selfies?

@gruber @jamesthomson that is one big calculator… or JG is at least 7 feet tall

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@nerdy @gruber You can make it smaller. John is a fixed size!

nerdy, 3 months ago

@jamesthomson @gruber Just left Apple Store. Bag in hand after doing the demo.

I am … emotional. That’s only thing I can say. I have never had such a visceral reaction to a physical object… and I am device/gadget obsessive.

No, this is not mass market ready. Yes it is a, albeit beautiful, 1.0 device.

But damned if this not a window into the future of computing and its ever evolving integration in our daily lives.

Teary eyed. For real.

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@nerdy Glad to hear!

gruber, 3 months ago

@nerdy @jamesthomson I’m not joking: I had to shrink the PCalc window down quite a bit to fit it in that screenshot. By default it is much larger, in a very fun, cool way.

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@gruber @nerdy I’ll put that quote on the box!

@jamesthomson @gruber @nerdy
In my minds eye I see the vision OS version of PCalc in the box when you first launch.

And you get to virtually unbox.

@gruber @nerdy @jamesthomson if a calculator is smaller than you, how are you supposed to trust it? big calculator is big computer brain. we understand this intuitively.

future of pcalc where you are a tiny person on a huge calculator and jump around to press the buttons, then are carried to the display screen to see your answer.

@AppleCoreThing @gruber @nerdy Real “Deep Thought” energy.

@jamesthomson @caseyliss @gruber compliance, weaponized.

@jamesthomson @caseyliss @gruber You can give a separate EU prize

SamTheGeek, 3 months ago

@jamesthomson @caseyliss @gruber possession is only 9/10ths of the law…

mjanke, 3 months ago

@gruber @jamesthomson If you place an app too far away do you need to have a broom handy to poke at the buttons from a distance?

amilham, 3 months ago

@jamesthomson Who will be the first to send you a screenshot of them using PCalc for Vision Pro at the top of a literal mountain? That's what I'd like to see.

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@amilham I want to see this too. Or, perhaps in space?

leoncowle, 3 months ago

@jamesthomson Here you go!

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@leoncowle Hmm :)

simonbs, 3 months ago

@jamesthomson That’s a fun idea. I do have a lot of Runestone pins laying around… 🤔

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@simonbs Yeah, I figure I'd send people some pins! At least the Australians don't have an advantage.

jann, 3 months ago

@jamesthomson Can I photoshop it?

Oh, wait. That'd give me away, right?

I'll just send a black screen and said "Oh, Apple's DRM blocked YOUR APP? Wonder why?" 😉

jamesthomson, 3 months ago

@jann Hah!
