Yes, OpenGL != DRI. DRI is a *technique* often used for implementing OpenGL, 
but which IIRC sacrifices the networkness.

Agree. Some Oz schools use that. Cheaper and more widely available, and can 
store bucketloads of stuff compared with many cards. If need be, could put a 
microdrive in one for several gigabytes of storage, but that would cost you 
some robustness.
