i am brand new here, but have noticed a few things. first off, a few people were discussing the 'CARET' acronym earlier, some stating it was a clever way to say we've been duped into chasing that which can't be caught (a carrot on a string), some claiming it to be related to the "^' symbol on our keyboards. i noticed that on the 'cover document' on the webpage, there is a caret (like this "^") above the words Palo Alto in the lower left-hand corner. whether this adds or detracts anything, is not for me to decide, but there you have it. also, it's remarkable that he notes the holographic display device (or whatever it is...i doubt he himself really knows) and that ataris and c++ programming came out in '85. Here's an interesting link: www2.english.uiuc.edu... .
sorry, i am not able to html.

Well that's a coincidence about the WI thing, That's where I am. Maybe I have something to do with it and didn't know it. All kidding aside, sorry about what happened over at OMF Sys. I respect the work you've put into your research, even though I don't always see eye to eye.
The King Isle angle is interesting, though I'm not convinced, but who knows? Any word from the Australia connections? Aboriginal CG artists with boomerangs? Just kidding. When you throw a drone, does it come back to you?
I have been wondering why he picked the alias Isaac. There's a million possbilities, from the name of his goldfish to Biblical Isaac, almost murdered at the hands of his father. Take care.
Their hardware wasn’t operated in quite the same way as ours. In our technology, even today, we have a combination of hardware and software running almost everything on the planet. Software is more abstract than hardware, but ultimately it needs hardware to run it. In other words, there’s no way to write a computer program on a piece of paper, set that piece of paper on a table or something, and expect it to actually do something. The most powerful code in the world still doesn’t actually do anything until a piece of hardware interprets it and translates its commands into actions.
But their technology is different. It really did operate like the magical piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner of speaking. They had something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself, at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols (which does admittedly very much resemble a written language) along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves functional. Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired tasks. It really did seem like magic to us, even after we began to understand the principles behind it.

Hi Tomiuk and all,
I guess we all spend our time in one way or another on the things we enjoy. Thanks to many here, I was able to find proof that this is a hoax in about an hour and a half. If not for ATS, I could have spent much longer. Here's my post on a related thread with a video link that proves to my satisfaction that this is a viral marketing hoax pulled off by people working on behalf of a band called Drone.
