Ruby on laptops, cont'd

[yitzhak b. g. <yit...@ya...>]

This might sound futuristic at present, but the
opportunities are tremendous. Presently, we are
limited by the PCI bus in terms of available slots,
throughput and the fact PCI is only on desktop
computers. Also, the installation procedure requires
opening up the computer, which  limits the acceptance
of Ruby. Laptops and mobile devices are coming down in
price and are widely available. Furthermore, they have
plenty of unused processing power which could easily
be used by additional concurrent users. We should
consider how to output video streams via USB or other
channels such that legacy CRTs, keyboards and mice can
be connected to laptops, etc.
