68. A computer controlled display system, comprising:
-
a flat panel display having a display surface and an input for receiving display data to be displayed on said display surface;
a moveable assembly coupled mechanically to said flat panel display, said moveable assembly having a cross-sectional area which is substantially less than an area of said display surface, said moveable assembly being moveable to allow said flat panel display to be selectively positioned in space relative to a user of said computer controlled display system;
a tension cable disposed within said moveable assembly;
a motor operatively coupled to said tension cable, wherein said motor applies a force to said tension cable to suspend movement of said moveable assembly, and releases said force to permit movement of said moveable assembly; and
a computer base coupled mechanically to said moveable assembly and to said flat panel display through said moveable assembly, said computer base housing said motor, a microprocessor, a memory, a bus, an I/O (input/output) controller, and an I/O port, wherein said microprocessor is coupled to said input of said flat panel display. - View Dependent Claims (69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97)
