I just notice something as i was looking up the stats and description of an item of equipment I wanted to use in a PBP game.<br /><br />that its description did not make sense from todays perspective.<br /><br />So this thread is to post items you find a problem with and to discuss fixes and updates.<br /><br />File computer, cost 120 credits (which if fine) dimensions are 15 cm square by 5 cm thick and there in lies the problem 15 cm square is fine and actually a number of square or rectangle configurations are certainly possible but the 5 cm thick is quite thick when you think about a modern I pad or phone. i beleive that what Kim Eastland was describing here when he compiled Zebs is the computerized note board we all saw Jim Kirk signing in TOS which would have been about 2 inches thick or roughly 5 cm. That is obviously out of date. <br /><br />I think we can make the file computer 1 cm thick with audio, camera and touch screen imput as well as a jack for data transfer.<br /><br />we can also invent a file computer with integral chronocom circutry for 200 cr that would allow for wireless access to open computer nets. On high and medium population worlds there may be a data net (like our internet) available to access information.
