You MUST Check these links out now!!!!!!


Blown Away!!!

I just finished watching The very first episode of the Sean Kennedy Tv show. Most of the show was pretty average until this one guest, Frank Ogden otherwise known as Mr Tomorrow came on. This dude blew me away. He comes out and talks about the latest in technology and brings out all these super kool devices that u look at and go .. what the ?? You need to see this video.. its amazing..

Click here to download the video - 263.0MB Cinepack .avi file
My suggestion would be to skip straight to 1:14:56 in the video, this is the part where Frank Ogden comes on.
WARNING: The actual video itself is pretty poor quality and the editing is bad (due to the non-frame synch equipment they were using at the time). I realise that this is a huge file to download, especially if you are on dial-up or have a tiny download limit (Shame on you!). But if you do have broadband or cable then I highly recommend that you download this video.

Here are a few links to some products that Frank Ogden (Dr. Tomorrow) shows and talks about in the video.
1. Mind Drive - www.altered-state.com/mind/minddriv.htm

You can find the MindDrive for 34 US dollars on eBay.
The fellow who's selling it also has a few of the titles, like for skiing, pinball, bowling and FIB, for $10 each... much cheaper than the site you had listed.

There is, in fact, a complete package of MindDrive and four games up for bid right now at $30. So if you want it, it's available... but I'm not sure how well it will run on modern computers. The software came out in '96, which is practically ancient in terms of computers.
