Huh to cool ^_^
Yet
Part of me says: That, is impressive!
While
Another part thinks: One (of many possibe) snag I see with these things is
does it feel like a companion? That is something that's fun and simple to
use?
a whole seperate observation is it seems as if they (intel/PC makers) have
tried to make kind of portable hubish modular computers and parts. So far
they hit 'feature creep' and 'uh it's...how much?' pretty quickly.

My concern  is it works and be fun, simple and easy to make and use.
A concrete example was last year
Wave and Star Labs made a reeely cool device. Waves started as a simple set
of 'computer moduals' so as each part (monitor hard drive) talked to
eachother wirelessly and some how increased it's  umpf quite a bit. Their
core hub started life as cheep (100 bucks or so) but didn't play well with
other doodads. and hit a bunch of other problems as well

Star Labs I think it's doodads are still around. Their 'computing 'core
and, sort of  modular computing stunt hit a hilariously simple snag of some
sort where basically their wifi system kept crashing. I simply don't know
why. Marcos or Coddy might recall the news and know why they had crashing
issues., they were all over the news, when their 'compunctions hub modual'
hit aholery from comcast. They were trying a stunt where the it'd (try to)
find open radeo channels to provide around a gig internet speed each way
over about 900meters to a full kilometer. That in of it self was YAR!!


Anyway Hope it works out. YAR! pretty cool looking ^_^

That sounds about right, which slowed me down a bit in that pursuit.  Where 
does the quote come from?  Also, I V. DOLGACHEV, recently wrote a book to 
explain classical algebraic geometry to current experts, who evidently have 
difficult with the old stuff.

Then I'm supposed to say something like but but what if we could make a
Tardis and proclaim All hail Galifrey!, and this is about where I feel like
shouting: Computer End program, herbal tea, warm!.
(doing my best/worst picard impersonation)

Glen then says something like: ok smart alec. Let me explain Arrows
Conjector so as you can understand! and besides it's early grey, hot! :P
^_^ :P
I then say: Huh well my poor little dyslexic brain thought thought Arrows
Conjecture  shows why with any given group of people they are unlikely to
agree on everything, somethings but not everything..
Some else says: Your doing type thinking again and sounding a bit smarmy!
that's close-sort of, with all mathy conjectures theirs about 5 butts to
know about. as well!..

(This is my bad attempt at being funny)

Well, it's radical enough! Hmm.. I suppose all the inventions that prop us
up may also be extensions of our cognitive apparatus?

Good point on terminals as well, maybe browser tabs too?
