ZILLIONS OF BUGS

In 2000, Windows had 63,000 bugs, while Linux (Debian Project) had 13,000. Is it any better today? Microsoft unofficially admitted to 67,000 KNOWN bugs in XP!

Some will say these are "tiny" bugs. But if the accumulation of 100’s of such "tiny" bugs prevents you from finishing 8 hours of computer work with a big smile on your face and a feeling of having passed through a good day, then your sanity has been compromised!

And why is that? All because NOBODY has taken the responsibility to make, distribute and use computers that have no bugs or security holes!

NO BUGS

Zero bugs! Bugs are not allowed to go out our door. BUT WHAT IS A BUG?

"If it baffles or frustrates the User – then it’s a bug."

Zero bugs is NOT easy. No way. We did not say that. In fact it's very hard. Almost impossible.

It is merely POSSIBLE and takes a very unique approach in development and above-the-roof level of responsibility. But yes, Zero Bugs. It IS possible!

Beat that, clowns!

FRUSTRATIONS GALORE

That's because your well-being has been either neglected or compromised during the last few decades of computer development. A frustrated user has been accepted as "necessary evil". Beware: This is a LIE.

TECHNICALLY – USER IS KING

SC technology is 100% aimed at the USER. You do NOT have to suffer frustrations and losses.

How exactly? Tons of details here, read on.

USER'S FINANCIAL BENEFIT IS LAST ON THE GREEDY'S MIND

"We are fatigued by the continual pressure to upgrade." [humane.sourceforge.net]

The rush to upgrade software, and hence hardware, comes handy for the giants who earn $billions on every upgrade phase.

FINANCIALLY – USER IS KING, TOO

In the business world it has been known since time immemorial: the customer is always right and is the real king of Merchants Street. In SC world it’s the user. S/he’s always THE USER, the king or queen, the highly elaborated VIP for which the whole world of SCs has been created and established.

Therefore, NO FORCED UPGRADES. The way SC is built, no frequent upgrades are necessary at all (want numbers? A machine 7-15 years old and running well is a good ballpark figure).

NIGHTMARE MAINTENANCE

Do you own a computer? Do you work on one? I probably don't have to tell you horror stories about maintenance...

YOU can tell me. I'd love to hear them, always – send here

SUPPORT SUCKS

Lawrence J. Magid [columnist for Los Angeles Times]: "Why isn’t there a good customer support system to help users in trouble? When my new car won’t start, I call the auto club and the tow truck driver either starts it or tows it to someone who can repair it. The car is rarely in the shop for more than a day or two. My mechanic has never told me he has no idea what’s wrong with my car and simply can’t fix it. Somehow, he makes it work."

"[PC technicians give me] a litany of excuses about which products are to blame."

"If cars were like PCs, we’d all be walking to work."

SANE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is too big on the user to do alone. Leave it to a technician or SC Consultant, or both, according to the nature of the problem or malfunction. Therefore, no user-accessible maintenance functions of the type used (for example) in Windows, where users are expected to be doctors and scientists to make their machines work at all...

Three types of service facilities are included in each SC Regional Service Centers, who’s actions are always coordinated for the User’s benefit and peace of mind:
1. Maintenance Center
2. 24/7 Help Desk
3. On-Site Service.

Maintenance Center and Help Desk are always there for the registered user. 24/7, 365 days a year. Center & Desk always manned with friendly, knowledgeable employees who like to help people and KNOW what to do in each case. Supervisors always on the spot for quality control and assistance.

Maintenance, however, is FAR LESS necessary in SC as it is today. ALL functions that cause your current computer to go berserk (yes, we know EXACTLY what they are and where they are coming from) have been eliminated, killed, thrown out of our all-new architecture. Thus much, much, much less maintenance is required to own and run an SC.

YOU'RE KEPT IN THE DARK – PURPOSELY

Keith Whitney, a Macintosh systems administrator, spills the beans on the unethical and contemptible attitude of computer "gurus" towards the user whom they call luser:

"It is still too hard to use a computer. Not for us, but for all those intelligent people who keep asking really basic questions. Many computer "gurus" like it this way, making no effort to conceal their contempt for "lusers." They don’t even try to make technology understandable to others – that would take away all the mystery, making their skills irrelevant."

COMPLETE USER EDUCATION IS DEFAULT

If you're working in an office or company, your SC will be supplied to you TOGETHER with complete initial education and training.

Although intuitive and easy to operate, why the guesswork??

If you're at home, you'll get a free ticket to our nearest class (no hour limit!)

In both cases, you can attend our online school AT ANY TIME!

STIFF

Can a user (who's not a professional programmer) make his computer do what ever she wants? FORGET IT.

SELF PROGRAMMABLE

SC has as-easy-as-Lego™ array of tools, with which you (or your child) can program the SC. No codes, nothing to memorize.

SLUGGISH

A famous joke claims that, unlike women, computers do everything you tell them to...

Now get real, DO THEY REALLY??? Not my PC! It takes forever for my very-well-maintained PC to respond to some requests. Sometimes it will freeze, requiring a whole boot, while the minutes are running and my mind gets distracted off work, off production and onto pitiful machine problems.

INSTANT ACCESS/RESPONSE

SC responds to its user immediately, on the spot, no reaction time, pronto, right-now-or-never! The machine has no electronic or logical circuit that can, at any given time, be "too busy" to respond to user’s command. SC responds to user first, then attend to WHATEVER it was doing. No exceptions.

STUPID INTERFACE NEGLECTS USER

Where's my freaking hourglass?!

It wasn't like that 7-8 years ago, but today’s PC will give (when it's busy) a flashing hourglass, or a too-late hourglass, or no indication at all. You give it a second and third command, thinking it did not get the first one.

The result? Anything from a multiple-task, messy screen (when you wanted only one window) all the way to a frozen machine.

Jef Raskin [humane.sourceforge.net], world expert on Man-Machine Interface (MMI):

"Hundreds of millions of computers have unpleasant interfaces (Microsoft's Windows comes to mind) because they require abilities humans simply do not possess, proving that their interface designers were ignorant of fundamental facts about the human mind. ... The currently fashionable right brain–left brain distinctions are particularly silly."

USER INTERFACE – AS SHARP AS A RAZOR BLADE

When you command an SC to do something, it will tell you EXACTLY what is happening. No confusion, no mess, ever.

We put extreme stress on your peace of mind while you work, so you can concentrate on your production or task. Tell your boss THAT when you ask him to buy you an SC.

Our results are no accident or gift from heaven. We simply know how the human mind works. Yes, YOUR mind. Our minds, too. You cannot hope to design any serious system for humans if all you know is about mice...

No misunderstood messages, words, symbols or terms throughout the entire system: screens, screen messages, buttons, icons OR literature.

Everything which appears in front of the user’s eyes during training AND operation is clear, comprehensible, intuitive and unambiguous. As a particular case of this rule: no hidden "ifs" and "buts" in MMI: when a button or menu option or link or whatever appears on the SC screen(s) IT IS ACTIVE and ready to shoot. The Twilight Zone of pseudo-active MMI particles or windows is not allowed because it would baffle the user and make her lose confidence in the reliability of her machine.

ENDLESS STREAMS OF VIRUSES

Some computer viruses and software glitches may erase all your virtual money from your virtually "safe" (but not really safe) bank. In the movie "Terminator 3" we have seen a virus almost destroying our entire planet.

When the movie was made in 2003 it was still sci-fi, but today we are approaching a less-dramatic but very real economical disaster: InformationWeek Research estimates that security-related downtime costs us $1.39 trillion in 2003! (in 2004 it doubled to almost $4 trillions!!!)

If I told you on September 10, 2001, what would happen the next morning to WTC, would you believe me? You would not! Even the FBI and Pentagon didn't believe the warnings.

But I'm telling you now. Read my lips, pleeeeze: when cyber-terror hits, such a scale of attack means starvation and riots in the streets. Your street. The # of $trillions mentioned above will become a 10-fold disaster, causing a domino effect that will weaken our economy to a new 1933-like depression. The domino effect took 3 years in the 1930's. But it will take only hours today.

ZERO VIRUSES, FOREVER

A naive dream? Not at all. SC, by it's very structure, CANNOT be infected. How we do it is a well-kept secret, but I can let you in on another well-kept secret: Whoever is telling you that viruses are unavoidable is LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH.

While viruses are becoming seriously nastier every few weeks, SC will not even NEED an anti-virus of any kind!

Do you feel you MUST know? I'll give you a chance: more hints below...

PRIVACY?? YOU MUST BE KIDDING!

Now there are even bigger threats in the ugly shape of cyber-terrorism. Computer security is failing, and each click you are doing right now may be monitored by a hacker or a hostile agency right under your nose.

Today "Privacy" is Nothing But a Farce

"I think you will be depressed when you discover how many corporations have been watching your computer behavior", says Max Lent, a business and web consultant from NY [www.maxlent.com] in an article about Spyware.

Some jokers who wouldn’t reveal their name (not even a fake one!) and who are hiding in www.pckeytracker.com, promote a commercial spying software for home users, while bragging about "Illegal e-cards to spy on your lover" (originally, a story about a known company named "Lover Spy" that raised a whole commotion on the subject of computer home spying; see Google’s results on "Illegal e-cards to spy on your lover").

Today we hear about so many privacy violations, under the freaky names "Adware", "Spyware", "Trackware", "Thiefware", and others. Privacy has practically become a farce. And the alternatives left for users are practically almost non-existent. Anti-spyware tools are offered on the web for free or for a small price, but those have limited power and WOULD NOT stand tall in the face of an insidious hacker or a large company for whom the word ‘privacy’ means nothing.

Max Lent was protected (so he thought) by a firewall. What they call "firewall" is nothing but a "burning bush" that intimidates stray cats, but not unscrupulous giants with long-term criminal business plans.

CONSIDER A CAMEL...

Can a Hacker break into a camel (the animal)? Can a cyber terrorist steal sensitive data written on a wooden slate? There are some things in this world that CANNOT be penetrated by electronics and network wizardry. With a sledge hammer, yes, with the point of a gun, maybe, but not by "hacking" and the like.

SC is kind of like a camel or a slate of wood. It cannot be penetrated. Where would you install "spyware" in a camel, even if you had him all for yourself for 30 minutes?

This may be baffling to you at this point, even if you have 20 years in computers. You never heard of something like that, did you? How does SC – not a piece of wood but a sophisticated computer – do that??

We cannot tell this secret, not yet. Let's just say that with SC, your privacy is absolute. We will reveal HOW THIS IS TECHNICALLY ACCOMPLISHED in our members-only newsletter so you better tune in.

Hint: it's one of those things like "Oh, man, how come they didn't think about it before?!!"

Can you guess?

Write to us if you have. It may earn you a good job with us.

PRIVACY TOOLS: VERY WEAK, PRACTICALLY ABSENT

Today personal computer users are confronted with too many threats to privacy, and true protection of privacy is only available to an elite of techies. You may have asked yourself:

– When and how to reveal personal data?

– Allow cookies or not?

– What do they know about me?

– And many more unanswered or hard-to-answer questions.

Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) provides an "online guide to practical privacy tools" which is a very extensive list of privacy tools for today’s computers. Most of these tools are not useful for SC, but the list itself shows you how many privacy threats there are.

A partial list of privacy-short channels: emails, instant messaging, any surfing, file transfer/attachment, e-commerce, networking, telephony and/or streaming audio/video, file sharing and more – all suffering from NEAR-ZERO PRIVACY.

In order to protect your important personal information such as ID, password, credit card number, bank account number etc. you must purchase a third party solution such as the Korean Anti-Keylog [http://www.anti-keylog.com], which may or may not work on your platform. And even if it does, who can ENSURE it won't stop working in the face of tomorrow's hacking? So... it's an endless race against the criminal.

PRIVACY TOOLS: BUILT-IN

First of all: nobody can do anything to your machine, such as automatically install things, bookmark their site on your favorites, remotely activate it or take remote control over it in any way. It’s just not possible. The doors are tight shut. Let me use accurate words: THERE ARE NO DOORS (to the criminal, a "shut" door is an open door. In other words: security hole!)

For extra security, your SC does NOT even accumulate snoop data on you in any style, shape or form (such as your PC’s ‘user.dat’ which you have no control of). SC does NOT write any hidden documents or "switches", etc., that you did not create and cannot change. Instead, SC creates and writes only data files and folders that are: (a) visible to you – their existence is obvious, (b) you can read and edit them at will without the need for extra or third party tools; all the tools are right there, and I’m not talking about things like regedit for which you need special skills and rocket-scientist knowledge or ties to techie friends – but tools so simple that ANY user can understand and use, (c) you can destroy these records at will – without traces and without automatic reports sent to anybody at any time, (d) you can start any one of those YOURSELF, if you want.

ALSO: Automatic "shredding" of messages, documents or any data (safe to government grade). Anonymous Web surfing (built-in). Built-in tools for killing pop-ups, spam, online fraud, etc. Encrypted voice and streaming video, turning SC into a secure telephone or videophone. Encrypts faxes and emails, too.

100% TOTAL all-time protection of important personal information such as ID, passwords, credit card number, bank account number, medical records, etc.

WEIRD THINGS HAPPENING...

Lawrence J. Magid [columnist for Los Angeles Times]: "Many problems can be chalked up to unexplainable phenomena, the PC equivalent of flying saucers. Don’t ask me why my spreadsheet program works fine 80 percent of the time but crashes when I’m on deadline. ...or a word processing file that somehow winds up in data heaven."

Also heard on the Internet: "My computers gone crazy and I dunno how to fix it...not cool." Another user says: "...my computer went crazy, rebooting at will, doing all sorts of unexplainable things."

STABLE, PREDICTABLE, CONSISTENT

What we realized 20 years ago, is that computer engineers knew practically nothing about building computers that will NOT drive you crazy. But how do you change that?

It took a lot of work, in fact it took 10 years (1990-1999) to sift through all possible solutions until one came up that could solve ALL these problems and ALSO be doable in a kicked-in-the-head industry, controlled by kicked-in-the-head leaders with narrow interests and sheer stupidity (short-term sight IS stupidity, my friend).

The solution was found. And it's all in the OSCAR files

DAILY CRASHES...

"A crash reduces your expensive computer to a simple stone." [James Lopez]

"Control, alt, delete – digital hari-kiri, three-fingered salute." [Chuck Powell]

SC CANNOT CRASH. PERIOD.

If, however, you want to "reset" it, it takes less than 2 seconds. There's no "reset" button... All you do is flip the on/off switch once and you're back to work where you left it. But it won't crash anyhow.

NO BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Or red, or green. SC will never freeze NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU MAKE IT WORK.

DAILY FRUSTRATIONS... GRRRR!!!

These machines and networks drive you crazy (it shows in all our latest surveys). Users and administrators report being confronted daily with things they don't understand or cannot control.

John Dvorak (major columnist at PC Magazine): "Gates and company talk about total cost of ownership and never once take responsibility for the fact that Microsoft has created an operating system that encourages sloppy practices and continuously degraded performance."

YOUR PEACE-OF-MIND IS ASSURED

Your peace of mind, as an SC user, is a buildup of all the good features described here: no lost data, no freezes, instant boot and instant reply to your commands, no misunderstood messages/phenomena, etc. No glitches, no spyware, no viruses, no ID theft, no... OK you got the point, no headaches to you whether you are a user, sys admin, or the boss (by the way boss, can I get a raise?)

MISERABLE PATCHWORK

Would you pay your best dollars for a tire that looks like a patchwork of old pieces of rubber? You wouldn't? But that's exactly what you're doing when purchasing the "new" software, security system, etc.

NEW LOGIC, NEW TECH, FRESH THINK

SC is built on an incomparably superior algorithm of logics, never before conceived of in 150 years of computer's history. We've built everything anew – from the ground up.

Sane Computer™ is not an improvement of the PC or the Mainframe or any other computer known today. It is a NEW TYPE of computer. And a new way to do data processing, data automation and machine automation. It is based on a large set of logic rules that have already been developed before 1990 when we started R&D. These logics have been tested for decades and have been proven to work every time. We work with a knowledge base that always works and works uniformly.

This set of logic rules has been observed to fit perfectly for data analysis, data evaluation and data processing. In other words, a frustrated IT professional’s wet dream.

SECURITY? ANOTHER JOKE...

1. Microsoft Admits Windows-XP To Be A Security Hazard! On Microsoft’s official website, this "Security Update for Windows XP" was published on 12 April, 2004: "Multiple security issues have been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise a computer running Windows and gain complete control over it."

2. "95% of UK bosses see IT security as a major concern" says The Federation Against Software Theft [http://www.fast.org.uk]

3. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says ID-theft is consumer fraud #1. Nearly 1,000,000 victims a year, costing each person an average of $1,000 (total damage: $1 trillion!)

4. "Organizations are still in the dark ages compared to the identity thieves they are up against." [Jeff Drake, securitymagazine.com]

NO SECURITY HOLES

SC unprecedented algorithm makes it sealed off from, and completely immune to all security holes known today.

Incredible? Yes. Remember: we did not say it's easy (on us). But if you suffer – severely or lightly – from security problems and you're willing to migrate to a new system, consider the security fiasco a thing of the past.

NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT

Nobody today has a workable solution which is accepted worldwide. Do you know of one? Admit it, you don't. It's a mess out there...

There are many local solutions, yes. But all efforts in the direction of UNIFORMITY have wound up in some improvements here and there, that eventually just created other problems and less uniformity...

This creates the sorry scene in which your friend may be protected from a certain problem while you suffer from it daily. My girlfriend once had her computer crushed to dust by a virus and she had to buy a new one. My computer was not harmed one bit. I felt sorry for her but could not help her once the damage was done.

ONE SOLUTION FITS ALL. HERE'S HOW:

A true solution must be based on knowing, really knowing, what can work for all users – and knowing how to implement it considering all aspects and limitations of the industry and its customers.

A true solution must arise from the strong and sincere caring of industry leaders AND users alike. It must start – and continue – as a solution aimed at efficiency and peace-of-mind to the user, not at profits upon more profits to some greedy billionaire. The implementation of such a solution can soon enough make its producers very rich and famous – but only if certain rules and principles are followed. Some of these are covered here and the whole enchilada is in OSCAR files

TOTAL CONFUSION ABOUT "WHO'S TO BLAME?"

Craig Jensen, who has been a system manager for many years and now runs his successful software company Executive Software, tells the story of how users get frustrated with the computer system and how their time is grossly wasted.

Reading the story, it is evident how users point a finger at the poor system manager, instead of the technology.

THE TECHNOLOGY IS TO BLAME!
NEVER "THE SYS ADMIN". NEVER YOU, EITHER!

With SC, you are NEVER to blame, ever. That's why first of all EVERY user gets training on how to get the maximum out of her machine. Then, you have 24-hour support which is REAL friendly, REAL knowledgeable, free of charge.

And with "Technology To Blame" in mind we have designed a zero-bug system. Because if we didn't, we were to blame, you see, not you. That's what level of responsibility we expect from every engineer, programmer or company who wishes to work with us: "sweat your ass off but never blame the end user".

GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

Takuma Suzuki, a reporter of The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Japan, presents the views of the respectable writer Shumon Miura, who argues that computers are too complicated for most people’s needs:

"Whatever way you look at it, the personal computers we use nowadays are defective. If computers were judged by the same standards as cars, computer companies would go broke because they’d be sued for selling faulty products. Recall them all."
"I always feel depressed when it comes time to work on a computer."

Takuma Suzuki concludes his opinion very bluntly: "Computer engineers need to go back to school".

TRUE ADVANCEMENT

Look up here, look down below, you be the judge:

– DID we go back to school?

– Did we do our homework?

– Is the result in YOUR favor?

GENTLE WORD: INCONSISTENT...
TOUGH WORD: CHAOS!

"Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining." [Usability expert Jef Raskin, interviewed in Doctor Dobb's Journal]

Today’s shining GUI (Graphical User Interface) systems have cute animations that contribute nothing to user sanity – and on the other hand neglect the user’s sanity altogether as if it never was a factor. I mean, it’s stupid human engineering. As stupid as it can get.

Look at your own system. It should be totally unacceptable to have F4 (or whatever) stand for "undo" in one program, F7-Alt-Shift-Ctrl-Duh in a second program, and nothing at all in another! YOU SHOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE INCONSISTENCIES!

Examples from real life:

My favorite word processor has been evolving through the years, but some functions that were perfectly fine in 1995 got screwed up in 1997 and became dysfunctional for no apparent reason. The multi-document capability, for instance, became very unstable and complete chapters would vanish into thin air.

Some menu items which were always there at my fingertip became very hard to find since menus have been changed too much. And an ocean of less-than useful functions appeared instead.

ALWAYS THE SAME: LOUL

LOUL means: Learn-Once-Use-for-Lifetime. For the sake of user sanity, SC tech is and must stay LOUL.

This means absolute uniformity throughout SC functions, applications, programs, products and usage.

If you're saying now "hey, ALL that study all over again", then consider this: you ARE doing it with every new product, every new system, every new software. The engineers keep shuffling things around – and there's nobody to stop them!

Progress to new exciting technologies can be archived without constant changes that annoy the user.

PEOPLE ACCEPT THEM AS CRAZY/STUPID

Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal: "Personal computers are just too hard to use, and it isn’t your fault. Computers are just plain stupid."

Umair Salam (webmaster, www.salambazar.com): "Computers are crazy, never fail to amaze me: if you have a report due in a half an hour and you haven't printed it, no matter what you do, something will go wrong (computers will almost always crash when you need them the most...)"

Maloy, young activist and artist from Colorado, USA: "computers are crazy... I’m so sick of computers and anything digital." [www.PrinctonReview.com]

NO MORE NEED TO ACCEPT EVIL

Now that you have an alternative, why agree with the crazy?

Unless, of course, you are a multi-billionaire who continues to make billions from long-term investment in the crazy/evil/whatever you wanna call it.

You're not him, are you? Good. Agree no more!

"Our honeymoon with digital technology is over: We are tired of having to learn huge, arcane programs to do even the simplest of tasks." [humane.sourceforge.net]

"We Need Simpler PCs", says Bill Howard, a major columnist of PC Magazine™. "Companies have spent billions researching usability, but we have so little to show for it. ...for people who use PCs casually – unskilled office workers, grandparents – computer technology remains difficult. ... It’s too bad Microsoft and Intel haven’t used their de facto monopoly powers to enforce easier technology. ...If we want PC penetration to exceed two-thirds of the population, we need simpler PCs. ...All the players say they’re making a big effort already, but where are the results?" [read full article]

A simple search on Google.com to see what people are saying about the complexity of computers –

"computers are too complicated" – produces an avalanche of quotes and references, too many to repeat here. All in all, it shows that thousands of people think computers are too complicated to operate or even own. This is true both for adults and seniors.

Karen Pike of New Jersey, USA: "make a computer u don’t have to be afraid of if u make a mistake & push the wrong button. I wouldn’t dare try to do anything but email & go on line, if I did I’ed be on the phone for an hour with my ISP trying to undo whatever it is I did. A-lot of people are afraid of computers because only certain people can become profficent with them. make a-computer that we can use. Your advances in technology mean nothing to regular people if we don’t know how to use them".

Dhanjishavariava Variava of Arizona, USA: "MAKE IT MORE SIMPLE TO USE. SO WE ALL CAN SUPPORT YOU. MAKE THEM MORE SIMPLE please! Please! SOONER THE BETTER."

INTUITIVE AND SIMPLE TO USE

SC soars high above by making it easy on you to operate a computer and produce whatever you’re trying to accomplish with it. It’s a new approach that will leave you at the end of the day with more products and without frustration.

Does this sound different?

Imagine a machine with instant boot and instant shutdown, among many other time savers. Imagine your friends calling or emailing to warn you about the latest virus attack, and you just laugh because the rain can’t get you wet. Imagine a system that’s as easy to configure as a toy.

When we design for simplicity, we think: "How would I like to see it and feel it, if I was an old lady down in Kumchukistan, trying to confront a computer for the first time?"

We ask ourselves: "Is this function necessary at all?" We ask: "Is this feature’s intention to HELP the user – or IMPRESS the user?" We try alternatives: "Is it possible to do the same function in a SIMPLER way? (Are you thinking now "every engineer does that"? Well, just have a look around you, look at your own computer. Think again.)

But we do NOT over-simplify for the sake of simplicity. A computer with 3 little buttons and no monitor is simple indeed. Very simple. But it is hardly useful for anything more than a baby toy (hardly even that for 21st century babies...) Albert Einstein said: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

Practicing simplicity in this manner will inevitably lose a few complexity-hungry customers, but will in turn gain millions of customers who just LOVE simplicity and would gladly pay for it.

Unlike the obvious think of the monopoly lords, SIMPLE is GOOD for business.

Did you read our article titled "DANGER: Computer Bugs Can KILL Your Loved Ones TODAY!" yet? click to read

A report on Reuters Asia [asia.reuters.com] exposed a story in which Thailand's finance minister got trapped for hours in his BMW, automated by Windows (version CE) after the computer in his car crashed, trapping him and his driver. Security guards had to break the windows to rescue them. Suchart Jaovisidha is quoted as saying "We could hardly breathe for over 10 minutes".

SAFE ENOUGH TO SLEEP WITH

Did you like Isaac Asimov's "I Robot"? I have yet to see the movie but I grew up reading his books 3-4 times each.

I loved Asimov's analysis of what could sophisticated robotics lead to. But do you really need The Three Laws of Robotics to protect yourself from a computer?

We have discovered the unbeatable SAFE solution. When users and system/vehicle designers realize with what kind of enemy they were sleeping with until now, they'll throw it off their hands like hot iron.

Sane Computer, well operated or not, will NEVER turn against you in any way shape or form. It's not built to do so. Can an eagle swim? We did not allow this IN THE VERY BASIC DESIGN and all the way up and onto your desk, website, car, or spacecraft.

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO): OUTRAGEOUS!

Hardware Costs are Only a Fraction

In an excellent article Paul Shields proves black-on-white that the hardware costs represent only less than 21% of the total costs of ownership.

You see? Today's computers waste 79% of your money!

On vnunet.com (UK), John Geralds reports: "A study of 3000 businesses worldwide found that lapses in security cost companies between 5.7 and 7 per cent of their annual revenue, or six cents for every dollar in sales."

"Frank Bernhard, managing principal of Omni Consulting Group, which carried out the study, said online security problems are growing faster than anyone could imagine. "That whole issue could explode," he said, adding that when hackers break into company source code, "you’re into billions of dollars that just walked out the door."

InformationWeek Research estimated in 2003 the cost of security-related downtime to U.S. businesses at $273 billion. Worldwide, the tally was a whopping $1.39 trillion. The problem more than doubled in 2004.

"Viruses cost individuals and industry many billions of dollars every year. The latest worm, SOBIG, is said to have cost US companies more than $10 Billion alone!" [Alex Poole, author of "PC Security Secrets Revealed"]

A study by Price Waterhouse Cooper concluded that "The result is a lose-lose situation for business as they spend more money with each outbreak only for that new solution not to work when a new virus strikes."

BOTTOM LINE: VERY EXPENSIVE TO OWN!

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP: ROCK BOTTOM

SC Technology is not only hardware. Far from it. It has many factors built into its technology and procedures, directly contributing to lower TCO:

Comprehensive User training, for instance, means higher productivity and less trouble of countless types and variations. We teach you not only where the keys are, we teach you (and your workers if you're the boss) how to use SC unique computing tools FOR BETTER ORGANIZATION OF WORK AND LIFE. I must stress here, this is NOT the free/cheap knowledge from school or the Internet. We offer UNIQUE knowledge, we show you how to re-shape your life and work using UNIQUE tools available with one-click on every SC.

Time saver 1: no lost data due to either cyber-crime OR poor functionality.

Time saver 2: no lost time for user-fighting-the-machine in trying to make it work.

Time saver 3: no security holes to patch up, no viruses, spyware, adware or whatever to clean.

Time saver 4: greatly reduced chance for network and Internet connectivity problems such as loss of connection due to poor protocols or poorly-configured modems.

You don’t need frequent software upgrades to "fix" last year’s bugs (replacing them with this year’s bugs!!!), or simply because the powers that be have created a system to rip you off by a vicious hardware/ software/ operating-system upgrade race. That alone saves a bundle at home, office or network.

Help Desk is not only professional, friendly and efficient, but also free of charge to all licensed users. It’s always there for any user, online AND telephone support, too, 24-7-365.

SCCs (Sane Computer Consultants) provide much more than programming, to improve the vitality (ability to survive and expand) of any business and its profitability, too. THIS IS NEWS: Have you ever heard of negative TCO?! This factor puts money from your machine-service bundle into your pocket instead of taking from it.

SC natural connectivity and built-in sane communication protocols makes local area networking a snap. Time and labor savings here, too.

Higher productivity of the individual due to MMI total intuitiveness and real ease of operation. Higher productivity of a company due to highly efficient group-MMI tools (of our own design).

Hidden damages are often attributed to theft of data, theft of identity or theft/loss of proprietary knowledge. This can easily occur by a computer being stolen or sent for repair/recycling. SC has two unique hardware features [currently top secret, sorry] which prevent this type of damage. These devices totally prevent lost or stolen data. This saves, for all SC users, the heartbreaks and damages (and embarrassment of lost privacy) that are usually hard to quantify in dollars. Talk about TCO!

INDUSTRY ETHICS: SUCKS!

U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said: "The court concludes that Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anticompetitive means and attempted to monopolize the Web browser market. Viewing Microsoft’s conduct as a whole also reinforces the conviction that it was predacious."

The full text of Judge Jackson's ruling

A typical consumer-complaint runs like this: "Unfortunately you’ve been conned into buying an out of date, inefficient machine – no doubt by glossy advertising or claims of running ‘industry standard’ ...products."

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU AND NOTHING ELSE

We are working for you. That's why we are a non-profit org.

Currently the heads of the organization do NOT receive salaries or compensation of any kind. In fact they did not draw a penny in 15 years of intensive R&D (since 1990).

If you want to help us please click and donate to SCO.

And besides money, judge for yourself if we are walking an extra++ mile in your direction and your favor. Decide for yourself if we're protecting you from the stink or not.

ONLY FOR "COMPUTER SCIENTISTS"

Another typical consumer complaint (appeared unsigned on a page by Paul Vigay, UK): "How many times have you cursed the computer and thought that computers were supposed to be simple to use? How many times have you wished that you could turn the computer on, write a quick letter and print it out – without the endless hassle of tedious warning messages, supposedly helpful warning messages and incompatible or new hardware detected messages?

"It’s a very worrying thought to ponder how many manhours of productivity have been lost through people having to perform mundane ‘system operations’ on their computer in order for it to work correctly."

Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen (telling the Rolling Stone magazine about his new PC): "It’s just far too complicated to actually try to understand. Many people who work in the PC industry have technical-support staffs that come in and fix things so they run properly, so these people don’t notice this. But for most people, it’s just a nightmare."

FOR ANY USER

Unlike today’s personal computers, no SC user may be requested or required to literally be a computer scientist in order to operate/maintain her computer.

This is not to say that user training is not required, but training is required for maximizing the value and productivity of using a Sane Computer. Not for solving dozens of frustrating, unexplainable phenomena every single day.

You will not have to confront computer nightmare anymore.

INFERIOR TECH WINS BY...PREDACIOUS* MARKETING

(*see above who said that)

In the Computer Industry and marketplace, it has been habitual and an obvious pattern over the years, that the inferior tech or product wins. "Microsoft presents us with an interesting example of a company whose products are consistently flawed and frustrating, yet which has achieved market domination", says Jonathan Dodd from Research Solutions Ltd, New Zealand [www.resolutions.co.nz]

"Microsoft (Bill G.) has systematically destroyed competition in our computer industry. They’ve crushed Stac, Digital Research, and many other companies by making their OS incompatible with competitors products, by forced bundling deals, by forced distribution and anti-competition deals, by giving away products until they starved others out, by lying about their own release dates (and features), or by acquiring." [David K. Every, owner of MacKiDo – www.mackido.com]

"Microsoft, in no uncertain terms, demolished an industry for its own purposes. ...painfully inferior product." [George S. Bethel – igeorge.digitalstreet.com]

The above is truth. An ugly truth. Injustice. We despise it. We wish to eradicate it and replace it with at least minimal justice or better.

SUPERIOR TECH WINS VIA GREAT SOCIAL FORCE

And that "great social force" is... can you guess?

The order of the day in today’s Computer Industry is to release a product with up to 67,000 known bugs – and charge you an arm and a leg before they fully debug the product (do they ever??). In actual fact greedy software houses would never fully debug their product, even after years and years when they are filthy rich and have enough time and cash to do all the debugging in the world. And why would they? Doing so will dwarf the sales volume of their next version, or so they think.

We refuse to act like that! We won’t be able to look our public in the eyes with such a crying shame in our record. SC development starts from real-life knowledge, continues through real-life, real-user testing (not "beta" testing) and will land in the market only when it is ready for some real-life data chewing. Without bugs. WITHOUT things "to fix later".

It is our sincere consideration that the ethics of today’s major players such as the companies mentioned above, can be achieved only by applying a great social force. Some guys have too many wrongs in their record which they feel they have to justify, and thus they won’t yield to sweet words.

But don’t rush to your politician. The kind of force required to straighten out the Computer Industry must emerge from within: from concerned professionals and users such as yourself. What you can do bout it right now is become a member and/or donate.

ANTIQUES WITH ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY

The newest computers in the market are 1% innovation on top of ancient designs. Mark Dean, Ph.D., IBM Fellow and vice president of Systems Research, says: "The next phase of innovation in computers and devices is to simultaneously improve performance and reduce power consumption."

Get real, man! What about our sanity, user comfort, bugs, viruses??? Safer eCommerce??? War on terrorism???

Not a word.

Have you noticed that every single year the industry follows the same pattern: they don’t change the basics, they don’t solve last year’s BASIC bugs such as a machine that takes forever to boot, or a machine that hangs up on you in the middle of a critical process; but instead what they concentrate on is the "speed" and some extra "bells and whistles".

This is the sad (did I hear you say ‘ugly’?) but true face of the industry today.

ADVANCED IDEAS PUT IN PLACE OF THE ANCIENT

SC Technology is far better than anything known to Man so far. It’s better in the regards of better interaction with a human being, since it’s based on principles of data processing NOT known to the builders of these antiques.

It's all new from scratch. We scratched ALL ideas and techniques used today and in the past to design computers, because they were obviously flawed.

When we say "innovation", we mean INNOVATION, 100% of it.

And I've already said above "Beat that, clowns!"

WHO OWNS THE TECH?

PlanetPapers.com reports: "It [the Computer Industry] now comprises thousands of companies, making everything from multi-million dollar high-speed supercomputers to printout paper and floppy disks. It employs millions of people and generates tens of billions of dollars in sales each year."

So who own the kicked-in-the-head tech? Microsoft? No. They have a certain share of the software market. But other giants such as Intel rule the chip market, and there are many others who have their share of the industry. In general it could be said that the tech is owned by "others".

What "others", you ask.

Others than YOURSELF!

NOW YOU DO!

We, SCO, are a Non-Profit Organization, not for the sake of escaping taxes, but because we’re not here for the quick buck. SCO is a non-profit organization because its product – SC Technology – should belong eventually to the public/humankind (YOU) and not to a predacious multi-billionaire.

A non-profit organization is the only structure that can bridge the gap between the needs of the individual user and such a gigantic industry. Only in a non-profit environment (which is truly sane & dedicated) the user’s individual needs are not neglected or compromised in favor of giants and their profits.

Profit CAN and WILL be generated, but only by companies who will yield to the sheer demographic power of millions of re-educated users, and who will play the game in an ethical and fair way. SCO is the only power who can re-arrange the confusion of opposing vectors in the marketplace (for which the consumer is heavily paying today) and coordinate the vectors with the User really in mind, all the way through.

In the public eye, SCO should be looked upon as the people’s savior, while not much respect is left for current industry leaders especially after the famous antitrust trial of 1998-2000.

SCO is established and run on the principle of ‘government by and for the people’: it governs the affairs of SC Technology and guards it from corruption and oblivion, but at the same time it does so exactly and directly BY the people (see "Jobs/JV") and FOR the people. And this is a mountain-blasting combination!

"JUST SHOW ME THE MONEY"

In this kicked-in-the-head industry, ANYTHING IS FOR SALE. Imagine for a moment that you have a small company and you guys have invented a new gizmo or Internet model. Now one of two things can happen: either you KNOW HOW to grow it into a multi-billion dollar operation, or – more likely – you'd sell it to a deep-pocketed giant who will.

You'd sell it to some billionaire or large corporation, who will keep it – or sell it away – in both cases for the sole purpose of extra profit.

ATTENTION: "keeping it" does not mean they'll add your wonderful gizmo to their product line for the benefit of the people. In many cases they will KILL it (in a dark drawer in their basement) just to prevent your friends, family and everybody else from having it so they can keep their corrupted operation running unharmed...

SC – AND SCO – WILL NEVER STAND FOR SALE

As mentioned, SCO is a non-profit organization because at the bottom line SC should belong to the public/humankind and not to the super-rich.

Our goal is to help mankind, not to make profits.

This factor alone gives power and ethics presence to the entire activity, making it possible to demand consideration and cooperation from industry giants.

That's because the public (millions and later on billions of SC users, supporters and members) will more likely push power to a non-profit who fights for their rights, rather than to an indifferent (did you say "greedy"?) billionaire.

That's why we hold – as part of our firm policy – a solid rock decision that SCO must STAY a non-profit org even 100 or 1000 years in the future.

EVERYONE TO HIMSELF

"Divide and conquer", said an intelligent (and very criminal) leader of olden times. When we are divided into individuals we have no power.

The criminal wins.

USERS SUPPORT EACH OTHER

Beyond being consumers, SC users can and should work shoulder to shoulder for better results, for fun AND personal profit.

Several dedicated channels are established by SCO for this purpose: SC User Club, SCC (see definitions below) Club, idea-exchange center, members-only zone to share/exchange SC Programming, invention-exchange pool, a special center where users can team up for business or barter, and more.

CRAZY MACHINE DESIGN

User interface SHOULD be aimed at ease of operation. But engineers today are either non-educated on the subject, over-stressed, or sleeping.

For example, is it such a big issue to move the location of a switch?

Then why does the on-off switch of my computer hide BEHIND the box, down under the table where I cannot reach it or even see it?? Is somebody trying to hide it from me? Or make the machine less controllable? Do the engineers consider me an idiot who wouldn’t know when to press or not to press the button?

ALWAYS SIMPLE, ALWAYS POWERFUL

The answers are simple and doable with simple electronics engineering, provided the user’s comfort is in mind AND the user is not considered to be an idiot:

(a) the on-off switch (and the like) is right in front of the user, bedsides the screen or right under it.
(b) the user is taught and trained what AND WHAT NOT to do with the switch.
(c) in any case, turning off an SC in mid-action does not require rebooting the machine when switched on again, so little or no damage is done when doing so unnecessarily or by error.

BAD TIMES COMING...

The PC Revolution is over.

1. Industry leaders have been talking for some time about "The Second PC Revolution". In specific, it was Bill Gates who started saying that in December 1995.

Yet they know they’re using empty words. People at large despise their own PC’s stupidity and ridiculousness. Consumers simply don’t have much of a choice, especially in large corporations where they have no say about system purchasing.

2. Recently there are more and more indications of SERIOUS CRACKS in the "Wintel" wall. What is Wintel? What "serious cracks"? Read all about it in the eye-popping article from The Inquirer: "Microsoft showing signs of total disarray" by Doug Mohney (critical reporter, editor for VON Magazine).

PERFECT TIMING!

OUR TIME has come, because the market is not saturated – but on the contrary it is THIRSTY for a new breeze. And we at SCO consider ourselves very lucky because the 1980’s computer revolution has left us with a great field to work in:

1. The masses of individuals and businesses are by now very aware of computers and the great possibilities they introduce – which they were not so before.

2. Users today are ALSO very aware of the troubles and headaches associated with poorly designed products. Vastly different from 1980, you know now what we mean when we say "no computer viruses can harm your business with this new product".

3. Therefore we have a better chance now to present the world with a GOOD solution, more than we had 20 years ago! Or ever.

4. This is a perfect time for Sane Computers. The world is waiting. We have a real breakthrough at hand and we’re using our advantage right NOW.

"PLUG AND PRAY" (WAS. IT GOT WORSE!)

Peripherals are designed (wishful thinking...) to be compatible with your computer, but in fact they're only "sort-of compatible" – with misunderstoods, puzzles and technical problems or usability problems.

Latest systems are worse than ever. Sometimes they work smooth, yes. But many other times they get you stuck for hours of frustrations, phone calls for support, and general madness.

WaKe uP, ClowNs! It's the 21st Century!

TRUE PLUG-AND-USE (PAU)

All peripherals are fully compatible with SC, but not with puzzles and problems.

Instead, they are REAL Plug-And-Use, instantaneous by their own hardware.

No "installation" required.

No "drivers" to install.

Instantaneous, I said.

BOOT REQUIRED MANY TIMES, TAKES FOREVER

Blue screens of death.

Or wonderfully beautiful – but dead frozen – screens.

It doesn't matter which of the above it is. In either case you lost your work, many minutes for re-boot and re-open windows, then search and re-open the documents (hoping they're still there) and PRAYING all this time that you can restore your work without too much loss.

At times, your entire system loses its mind and your personal settings get wiped out or shuffled like madhouse puzzle. It once took me 3 whole days after a "small" crash to restore everything and go back to work... Not alone, but with full support from the company's computer support department.

INSTANT BOOT, BUT NOT REQUIRED

SC has – invariably – an instantaneous bootup. It's not zero time. That's impossible physically. But you'll agree that 1 second IS instantaneous. 1 sec and you're exactly where you left. Back to work.

System shutdown (of a single SC) is as simple as flipping the On/Off switch down. Whether temporarily flipped or left down for a week, the machine will remember the last settings and working conditions. So you can turn the machine off at the spur of the moment, and go back to work tomorrow without losing time.

You do the math: multiply the saved minutes for an entire year, then multiply by the number of computers in your department or network. How many WEEKS could you save if you used only SC units?

POOR/RIGID SEARCH

Unless you install expensive third party tools.

SUPER-ADVANCED (BUT EASY) SEARCH BETTER THAN WEB SEARCH ENGINES

All built in, part of the machine, part of user training, all yours for no extra charge.

WHERE’S MY FREAKING HOURGLASS?

The hourglass used to be a more correct indication in former years (8-10 years ago) but now it’s gone berserk.

Here’s a short horror story.

You click a button, icon or keyboard, then you wait. Nothing happens. But it worked just yesterday! No hourglass to tell you if the machine "heard" you. You click again, maybe three more times now. After long-long seconds you get the expected application – not once but four times on the screen (it was YOU who clicked 4 times, remember?). The machine DID get all your commands, but neglected to tell you so! And the hourglass appears now, as if in a joke-of-a-GUI, for a brief second before the whole thing finally reacts.

Too little, too late, too foolish. And you paid multiple times and waited 10 years for computer evolution to advance to... well, a freaking farce.

EXCELLENT VISUAL/AUDIO FEEDBACK

In contrast to this horror story:

GGUI (code names used in SC user interface) provides you with a very precise, very real-time indication of what’s happening and what you should do next.

FIRST it does that, not after it does whatever you asked for. Ridiculous no more.

MACHINES OUT OF CONTROL

An example that you’ve probably witnessed: You start typing a letter, or working on a spreadsheet, or something like that. Suddenly, out of the blue pops up this window or dialog box that YOU did not call for, not at that moment anyhow, and completely overrides the machine. A series of key strokes, maybe a whole paragraph that you’ve been typing, never gets to the application and is lost forever. As if you never typed it.

Or it types (incorrectly of course) in the new window or dialog box.

Sometimes the automatically-popping application will not even come up but will hide away (behind an active window) – and you can’t figure out why the damn application lost your data or series of commands. This is OUT! It’s simply unacceptable, don’t you think? It’s no way to run a computer. It can’t be called "User Control Over His Machine". It’s "Machine Controlling User". It’s simply out.

Sometimes a process starts running, by an error of your own wrong click or command – but now to your dismay you cannot stop it even though you’re sure that it’s the wrong and unwanted process!! Or it takes too long and you simply want to abort. In too many cases you just cannot stop it.

Very annoying. If Ferrari or Porsche would try to market a car even SLIGHTLY out of control, they could just as well close the business and go home.

This phenomenon, of machine-out-of-control, goes far beyond one paragraph of one document being lost. Or a few minutes lost in waiting for the unwanted process to finish. When the machine takes over, such as in an over-automated airliner, it can get as bad as to kill 100’s of people at a time. This phenomenon should be abolished for the good of mankind, for your own safety and for your own peace of mind.

ALWAYS IN CONTROL

Any and all of the phenomena described to the left is NEVER part of your work day with any Sane Computer.

Sane Computer NEVER gets out of control, by definition.

Don't believe it? I can't blame you. You never seen one. (We'll expose an initial model soon to members.

(THIS IS FOR TECHIES) IRQ PROBLEMS

In a PC we have the IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) system, with a whole list of problems and weaknesses in its basics, including poor flexibility – only 16 IRQs are allowed, complex logics that very few users understand (but are often forced to use). It takes a "computer scientist" (super techie) to configure that system, and by the time you’re done, a new installation might ruin the previously "stable" condition in a split second.

The IRQ mechanism is a common cause for system freezes/crashes and a big time waster. It sucks.

Besides, it has in its core the idea of sending signals in a typical "wintel" configuration – which we do not use – so it’s a useless idea anyhow.

GOOD NEWS

NOTE: this is for techies and technicians. A regular home/office user WILL NOT BE CONFRONTED WITH THIS COMPLICATION AT ALL.

We use an alternative "interrupt" system that (a) does not freeze the machine due to conflicts, and (b) is flexible and very easy to configure and use.

In SC a new system has been invented to accommodate for the need of prioritizing communications, commands and actions.

A very simple logic calculates the priority of any item automatically, and handles it accordingly. This logic is very flexible (exactly 9801 combinations instead of 16). it leaves ZERO room for conflicts – and is easy to understand and work with.

BELLS AND WHISTLES

‘Bells and Whistles’ is the term used for describing unnecessary but very fancy features, that have been put into a computer or software to impress buyers – especially newbies and tech addicts. It’s as stupid as adding a digital compass to a hammer.

I love puppies. But the cute little puppy (Pooch? Is that you?) that shows up on my computer screen and scratches a virtual ground whenever I want to search for data, is something I did not ask for. But I paid for it. I paid first when I bought the machine: somebody has wasted many days of work for a totally ineffective feature as far as DATA PROCESSING is concerned. I'll pay again when I have to upgrade the machine due to apparent "slowness", caused in part by the puppy. I'll pay again in lost time, seconds at a time, that add up – together with other useless features – into hours and days.

The sweet but unnecessary puppy is just one example out of thousands (overall) useless features that do not contribute to the efficiency of our machines or to anybody’s peace of mind. I am generally a very a calm person, but if I’ve just lost important data due to a stupid bug, please don’t expect me to stay calm because some cute puppy is dancing on my screen.

NO CUTE PUPPIES

No fancy but very unnecessary features. Period.

Our designs are colorful, yes. And aesthetic, too. But not stupid.

We give you SANE and EFFICIENT DATA PROCESSING, not cute puppies.

Bored? Put a little TV or radio on your desk.

STUPID STONE

The bare bones machine, that is.

But it doesn't have to be that way!

BUILT-IN WISDOM OF LIFE

Who said a machine must be as stupid as stone or wood? Why not put some "Life Wisdom" right into it?

Well, that's exactly what we did. We incorporated INTO THE MACHINE'S "BARE BONES" a whole set of wisdom tools to make your life more intelligent and your business more successful.

7 extremely powerful tools that we used for 30+ years with paper and pencil and were helpful beyond belief, are now incorporated into SC by default. No extra cost, no installation hassles. Minutes to learn for any child, student, home or office user.

Each of these tools is literally at your fingertip, activated by a single dedicated button. We believe you'd find these tools so useful for yourself, that we put them right on the keyboard AND screen.

"YOU MUST HAVE THE GIGAHERTZ"

Why do you need them?

I’ll demonstrate it to you: you know your machine can perform billions of actions per second, don’t you? They told you so in the shop, when you asked for the machine’s speed. The "Mega-Hertz" or "Giga-Hertz" thingy. The CPU of your machine can run a billion (‘Giga’ in techno-speak) or two billions of computing cycles, every second of day and night, non stop. Billions of actions per second! Imagine these numbers for a minute – they are IMMENSE.

But why do they build machines that drive a million miles an hour...to the next crash?

Why is it, that you can give a command, let’s say "open file" or "start typing a letter" and so forth, and you sit there waiting ten-twenty seconds for the machine to do... to do what?? Let’s not go into much technicalities here. Let’s just talk simple numbers. The heart of your machine, the CPU, has gone through almost 40,000,000,000 cycles by the time it has actually gotten to DO what you told it to do. Yes, there’s also disk slowness and other factors involved, but I can assure you that a few billions of actions were performed by this poor machine before it got close to – hopefully – answering your command correctly. That is, if it didn’t get stuck or confused in the middle of this jungle of actions and cross-actions and side-actions and who knows what else.

Now throw into the soup another ingredient: those moments where the computer gets so confused that it freezes altogether, destroys/loses important data, and wastes your time in re-configurations and other computer-scientist jobs.

You see, they sold you a very s-l-o-w machine as a "super-fast" one. And you were sitting there puzzled, wondering why it’s been acting weird. Weren’t you? I know because I’m like you puzzled by my XP-pro multi-gigahertz but annoyingly-slow machine.

IS SC FASTER THAN PC???

You bet!

This is covered in more depth on the FAQ page, but here's a summary.

With its built-in voice recognition technology, foot pedal and other devices which are an integral part of he SC architecture, this machine is much faster to operate. It listens to you faster and that’s one good part of the command cycle.

Now when it comes to EXECUTING your command, this machine is WAY faster. Because it does not go in near-endless loops of beating around the bush, like a PC does.

What does an SC, in contrast, do when you tell it to do something? It obeys. Pronto. No waiting time. No extra actions. It’s like flipping the light switch. Therefore, many actions that used to take 5-10 seconds or more on a 1-2 gigahertz PC, will take a tiny split second on an SC. Or in other words: hundreds of times faster. With very basic electronics, not with some secret green-head super-tech. Simple off-the-shelf good old electronics... but sanely arranged!! (The $800-chip makers hate this).

Did you read the left column? Now compare again. In the bottom line SC becomes probably thousands of times faster. So the scale of comparison depends on what you’re looking at, and goes from a slight advantage of the SC – to a gigantic thousand-fold advantage over the existing PC. Sorry clowns, we couldn’t help but beat you with a technical knock-out.

But then again, it’s not about speed. SC is about sanity. It's about your peace of mind while doing MORE a day on a computer. We'll get you smiling again. And it's not in the speed.

SPAM UP THE YING YANG

How much spam? Estimations go as high as 289 billion yearly, in the US alone.

Nucleus Research recently surveyed Fortune 500 companies and found that the average yearly spam intake in 2004 has doubled since 2003. A total loss of productivity 3.1% (up from 1.4% last year). Unwanted commercial e-mail this year will cost companies $1,900 per spam-saturated employee. D'ya hear that, boss?

Filters? Ha! Nucleus discovered that spam filters have managed to snag only 20% of the spam.

POWERFUL ANTI-SPAM, ALREADY BUILT-IN

Our secure email "trick" is a protocol based on person-to-person email. It's built into every personal machine.

It automatically assigns a unique code for each person you’re communicating with. The protocol, still confidential until we start marketing it, is obviously a VITAL contribution of SC for today’s Internet culture.

SOFTWARE THEFT ROBS THE INDUSTRY

Each year, software piracy robs the industry of nearly $12 billion and as a side effect robs the US economy of more than 118,000 jobs. We lose $5.6 billion in wages and more than $1.5 billion in tax revenue each year.

40% of illegally-copied software in the world. In certain regions it's over 80%. In the US: "only" 25%.

SOFTWARE THEFT IMPOSSIBLE (99.9%)

We protect the work, copyrights AND REVENUE of professional program designers who work with us.

Special hardware mechanism in SC prevents the illegal duplication of software.

What is it?

Try to guess and write to us.

DATA OVERLOAD: RISING PROBLEM

"Data overload is an industry problem" says Reuters, "We need an effective way to deal with data overload. ...Widening gap between data collection capabilities and data analysis abilities. ...Manual exploration and analysis is impractical."

85% of users use search engines, but these are only good for the Web and have other limitations that produce irrelevant, sometimes ridiculous results...

DATA OVERLOAD: SOLVED

SC has built-in tools to solve today's overflow, and our major concern is to eliminate the overwhelming effect of data overload on the user – you.

One-button "data filters" allow you to access the data you need, fast. It will be easier to explain when you see it with your own eyes, but for now consider this: imagine a world with more than 4 billion websites (today's Internet) holding VITAL INFORMATION you really need, but no search engines...

Now compare it to the immense difference that Google, Yahoo and others do to help you "filter" the data and find what you need quickly.

Imagine this can be done on ANY level, in ANY field, such as: your own "ocean" of documents, the company's intranet, the Internet and whole libraries – all filtered in one POWERFUL click, way more powerful than Google.

YOU WORK HARD – UNNECESSARILY

In this day and age we have great knowledge in the field of voice recognition technology and other ways to make life more productive and easy. You know, like in the movies. Some of the stuff you see in "sci-fi" movies is far from being imaginary anymore. It's here and now and it's AFFORDABLE or even CHEAP.

Why is it, then, that we don't have it on every desk? Why, if available, is it so clumsily incorporated and problematic? Why not like modern car tech – start and drive – why?

Because it was too much sweat for some clowns to do the work to a completion. For "completion" there's only one definition: Satisfied Customer.

VOICE ACTIVATED AND MUCH MORE

All modern, but inexpensive solutions for higher productivity and ease-of-use, will be part and parcel of SC: from a simple foot-pedal and futuristic keyboards all the way up to the best voice recognition science, fully and smoothly incorporated like it was never apart.

And then again, why not?

POOR DESIGN LANDS FROM THE SKY

You have no control over the next generation of computers. It just lands on your desk. If the engineers thought you don't need a certain button – it DISAPPEARS FROM SIGHT! If not, you just got lucky.

No control. No say.

YOU, YOU, YOU SAY THE FINAL WORD

We say the SC is the "computer that listens to you". This implies built-in voice recognition, it says the machine always LISTENS to your commands and OBEYS them on the spot.

But there's much more. And here's where it gets exciting for you.

Unlike most technological products today, we put YOU in the front seat and let you test drive our tech BEFORE finalizing its development.

AT ANY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT.

It's NOT "beta testing". It's in EVERY step of the way, thousands of future users continually testing – from home via the Internet – the latest steps of the engineers.

If you want to become a tester you first have to become SCO Member [currently free – click here]

CLOWNS MAKE *IMMENSE FORTUNES*, YOU GET FRUSTRATIONS

Enough said...

SURPRISE: BUILT-IN MONEY MAKER!

1. You can earn money in our organization by becoming a fundraiser, engineer, vendor, administrator, lawyer or consultant. See Jobs/JV

2. BUT HERE'S THE SURPRISE:

Sane Computer has a BUILT-IN MONEY MAKER in every machine!!! It's never been done before in the history of computers.

Details soon in our members-only newsletter.

BOTTOM LINE:

YOUR PEACE OF MIND HAS BEEN COMPROMISED

YOUR MONEY'S WORTH HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN

Why is the PC like a prostitute?

1. "She looks nice and offers short term fun – but at the same time she offers a smorgasboard of nasty bugs you can (and will) catch..."

2. "You're always getting screwed and you have to pay for it!"

SANE COMPUTING. GREAT VALUE.

"SC: the computer that fights back!" says one slogan. And it's true. It fights: terror, e-crime, financial suppression.

When it comes to data-chewing, SC fights and kills your biggest enemy: clownish design that leaves you angry, overwhelmed and ripped off.

Instead, SC will leave you smiling, HEALTHY and with "appetite for more". Is money a concern? If you are less than a billionaire, it always is. SC will leave more cash in your pocket. Much more.
