Dave, No! Why on earth would you want these? You have loads of proper computers; you never stay in one place for more than 5 minutes; you have no need of thin clients; you don't have a Citrix server or Active Directory; thin clients wouldn't give you the performance you need; etc etc... Yes it's sexy for companies who want to give noddy Powerpoint functionality at low TCO to idiots who don't know one end of a performance chart from another, but this is not a Dave product! If you want a sexy toy, check out these :-) --

but "quite tempting" isn't the same as " i want one", it's more like "I'd probably get a couple if i had more money than sense". I'd rather spend it on a shiny new old Tiger and as for the laser thingy, well..... Holly in Queeg Mode On My day is pretty full; I turn me torch on, shine it a bit, turn it off, turn it on again and shine it some more.... and 900 usd for something i have no use for... I think you're mistaking a Dave thing for a Bruce thing :) -- bombholio

But if you were to get 2, no 4, and some red ones as well, and mount them to the flanks of your new old Tiger, about a foot off the ground, pointing forwards.... "No, they're fog lights, constable." --
