Quantum Forest

Now, wouldn’t it be nice?

• To have Picasa for the mac too. I would be able to keep photo libraries in sync between the windows laptop and the mac. I certainly prefer picasa to iphoto; reasons: faster, deals with larger libraries in a much better way and it does not create duplicates when making changes to pictures.
• To have some money to waste on the Asus EEE, although currently only the 4 GB model is available in New Zealand. I wouldn’t trade it for my macbook pro, but for travelling would be great, much lighter and smaller than the new macbook air. When on the move I most often use the computer to access internet, check email and compose simple text. Some times I take movies for a trip, but I can survive without them.
• To have geolocated forest statistic databases with an interface through google maps. Just click on the maps and get meaningful data. Sort of combining private companies data sets, FAO data, environmental data layers, etc. A GIS system for dummies, making discussion on environmental issues much more relevant.
• Laptop batteries that didn’t suck.
• Character recognition software that would let me take notes in any crappy piece of paper and that would understand my handwriting.
