That seems good, though, the pizza box form factor doesn´t present less cable than usual, that add an Ethernet cable indeed (I suppose that the box is connected to the monitor with a VGA or DVI cable, right ?) And finally, this is an X-terminal or like a thin-client. So, as a consumer, I will tell my wish in an other way : why the graphical card should have to stay in the PC ? Why doesn´t one put it directly inside the monitor ? Does this way require an X-server on the g-card ? Does the graphical card in my PC run a x-server ? > Open-graphics mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics > List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com) _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
