An interactive motorcycle repair manual. It would contain detailed, 3D rendered parts, exploded views, animated assemblies, Quicktime clips, animated electrical wiring diagrams (showing the current between any selected parts). Basically, one could click on any part and get a description, its location, its function, specifications, manufacturer part number, required tools, torque setting, maintenance interval information, how to properly install/remove/repair it, etc. It would have a trouble shooting index where one would type in the problem and, based on certain keywords, receive several repair options (voice recognition would free one's greasy hands). If one were in need of a part it could automatically order it for you via a network "agent" (Magic Cap). The agent would shop for price, availability, shipping/handling policies, return policies, etc. Just an idea I'm batting aroung in my head. If I only had the time and a financier. -- Seth Byce sbyce@csulb.edu '85 FJ1100 �Chance favors the prepared mind� - Louis Pasteur
