The brainboost.com phenomenon hits the next dimension!

[Tony Ryder]

All this come from my recomendation after reading an article in a tech
support newsletter I receive from the uk. www.techsupportalert.com

They provide a very good newsletter for free with the option of a paid
se edition where you get additional items and utilities (well worth the
money).

There is also another site www.pcsupportadvisor.com worth a mention I
beleive that these two site have some connection but I can not remember
what it was.

I hope others find these sites usefull and pass the information on. I
am sorry I was not in the FP room at the time.

Tony

Jim Asman and I were the only ones talking in the FP Room a few hours ago...
say about 10:30/11pm EDT and you'll never believe who dropped by. JP and
Richard Kreiss were signed on but probably away from their consoles since
they did not join in.  But, the _founder_ of brainboost.com signed on and
talked with Jim and I for about 45 minutes. He was terrific. We of course
asked him what could have possibly brought him to the FP Room, and he
said... :-)  I swear I'm not making this up... Jim is my witness... :-)  He
said, "Well I noticed a spike in brainboost usage with some 600+ requests
asking 'Who is John Esak?' so I decided to follow up a little. He somehow
found a site with the FP Room link and there you have it. An AI specialist
with the coolest new site on the web drops by!  And all because Bob Stockler
happened to try that silly query... and post something about it here. Many,
most, ALL of you must have rushed out to do just about the same thing!!! :-)
:-)

Anyway, we talked a little about how the engine works and then a little
about how it works with my screen reader. He said he would immediately go
and make sure the whole site was accessible to blind people after I played
him a little of his site with JAWS.  What a great guy. He was from NYC.
After talking with Jim and I for quite some time... he said he had really
enjoyed speaking with us and was SO glad to find the forum... He said he
would most certainly be back often. (Good thing we don't just talk about
filePro only... it must be that insouciant political edge we're always
honing, huh Jim? :-))

Too bad Nancy, you dropped out of the room about 15 minutes before this guy
showed up. Then Fairlight signed on about 15 minutes after he left...
meanwhile JP, and Richard were signed in the whole time, but obviously not
listening. I hope we represented the Room okay without all the heavyweights
to help... :-)  I think we did okay. We certainly enjoyed the talk as much
as he did, I know. Nice man.

What a small world this great big cyberspace universe really is after all. I
still am not sure exactly what chain of events caused all this to happen as
it did... First, the guys from China (speaking only Chinese pretty much...
said they found the place so they could ask about brainboost.com... and then
ten hours later the founder the site itself shows up! Some funny Internet
warp tricked into place in just the right way... sure made my day. Maybe the
guys from Google will drop by tomorrow! :-)  :-) Although, to be honest, I
won't enjoy it as much... this guy is on to some new and sharp technology.
The answers from this engine are just that little bit different in so many
ways. I'm sure this site will be a huge thing very shortly.
