Sorry, Steve, I've read all of this quite carefully and posts I have
made to this list about it have NOT shown up - notably the one about
motorcycles instead of your buses.

In a network, public computing is made possible by smaller computer in
the network. Which means it's all the same thing. So the more people who
have *individual* devices contributes to *public computing*.

The more individual computing devices that are possible, the more your
public computing concept holds true... so we're back where we are.
