Apple #VisionPro: What happens when you watch something that literally brings tears to your eyes? Are the internals waterproof? Would tears get on cameras or affect eye-tracking? Easy take off/put back on w/pause/repeat-last-10-sec to wipe eyes? (Asking for a friend. ).

The original Apple II required execs to use a keyboard like a (usually female) secretary, have a Sony TV on the desk, and a rainbow ribbon cable. How dorky! With s/w like spreadsheets they outdid their coworkers. Wait for killer apps for #VisionPro. It's worthy of them.

Did Microsoft stop hardware & OS work after talking to Apple about #VisionPro, but continue all the Office, etc., work? MS reportedly made more (after costs) on each 1984 Mac selling S/W (MultiPlan, Word, etc.) than Apple did the H/W. MS has gesture experience from PenWindows.

It seems that Apple is "over the bar" on a variety of important "must haves". (One is consistent "no nausea" reports including from multiple females. Also affordable for enough developers.) Maybe they finally got there so it's time to release to developers to innovate. #VisionPro.

"Vision Pro and VisionOS feel like they’ve been pulled forward in time from the future. I haven’t had that feeling about a new product since the original iPhone in 2007. There are several aspects of the experience that felt impossible.".

I chose 20 years for because I think its content could be useful to at least some people that long, not just historians. "Vintage" cameras are used for a long time. Info in forums have helped many users dealing with technical issues.

What should Amazon have said would happen to after being frozen to show an example of support for the Internet as a trusted repository? Example: "Read-only for at least 20 yrs not breaking incoming links with goal of in perpetuity.".

39 years ago (in Sports time) we were 6 hours from the Apple Macintosh 1984 commercial. It signaled that the world was about to change.
