We call that virtualization." e-Juggling(tm) It is like asking "How many items can a professional juggler carry?" - Do the items all have the same shape? - Do they have the same mass? - Do they all obey Newton's laws of motion? - Does the juggler eat a balanced diet and get plenty of rest? - Does the juggler take steroids? - What is the ratio of the length of the upper arm to the lower arm? And then to realize that those questions are red herrings. The only important question is "How many hands does the juggler have?" The answers to those other questions simply let you put together a picture of how many objects the juggler can keep *in the air*.
