About this listen

In Search of a Right-Brained Computer is the story of my search to find a computer for my right-brained wife. Since I'm left-brained, this was perhaps a futile attempt. Yet I pursued it. What I found was what makes right- and left-brained people ask the same questions while asking different questions.

I'm left-brained. I want to know the story of a computer before I buy it. But to me, its story means: What's it like right now? What are its features? To my wife its story means: What was its history? What will it be like in the future?

I explore each of the main questions one might ask when purchasing a computer and show how left-and right-brained people mean different things when they ask that question. I then go through a computer system I designed in an attempt to design a right-brained computer. Then I analyze where it came close to meeting its mark and where it fell short. I throw in some computer humor along the way.
