What this is all about

Hello and welcome to Laptop Fencing.

What's this all about? Since 1998 I've wanted to replace electronic fencing machines with laptops.

My first attempt (also in 1998) was a flop. But technology has marched on and I'm taking another shot at it.

What you'll find here will be a blog about my attempt to convert the existing electronic system into a laptop friendly system. I'll also do a few posts about my 1998 failure - mostly because it's funny.

If I succeed then there will be an ultra low cost (maybe $250) replacement for the current $1000 electric fencing system (laptop not included). I hope this will make fencing less expensive in general and bring more people into the sport.
