It is really so funny - watching other people trying desperately to grind 
their squared concrete blocks on their car axle into a roughly round shape .. 
when they could simply use modern wheels

Again and again I get delegations marvelling at how I have been linking 
surgery, nursing home, hosital and home togeher and how I seamlessly can use 
*any* application on *any* computer from *any* other computer, and print from 
any such session on any printer within the network etc. And everything 
secure, via ssh tunneling, without need of any man in the middle - in fact, 
without even needing to install let alone to purchase *any* software - just 
grab any modern all-purpose Linux distro, and you have everything you need to 
do that.

In fact, jaws hit painfully metatarsals when I can just grab a laptop from a 
visitor, plug in a network cable, plug in a printer cable, put in a CD, boot 
from it - and 2-3 minutes later I am working on *THEIR* laptop writing my 
progress notes ... 

You simply cannot make a network operating system out of something that was 
always designed primarily with a single desktop user in mind. But nowadays 
mobile information society needs networking operating systems and distributed 
services  more than ever.
