Funny, it comes full-circle to the good ole days of dumb X terminals that only handle input/display, and leave the actual computing to the server. Except now the server is no longer an oversized ceiling-high machine in the server room, but a tablet you can fit into your pocket. :) However, due to the inconvenience of needing to be near a bulky monitor and keyboard, I suspect rather that the mobile device will come with a built-in projector and foldable keyboard. The latter already exists; the former allows the convenience of usability anywhere there's a large flat surface. T -- Heuristics are bug-ridden by definition. If they didn't have bugs, they'd be algorithms.
