Personally, my proposal is just an externalization of the graphical ressource (in a pizza box or in the monitor, anyway) Moreover, I don´t think that an all-in-one product would get the favor of the consumers : the PC will stay the PC, the TV will stay the TV and a Media center will be anything else. Nontheless, an application server with some thin-client instead of a Personnal Computer (one for me, one for my wife, one for everyone) has some chance on the mass market. Though, that depends of the pipe : wireless is always appealing, but still too slow and easy to disturb, the current as pipe is an awesome solution but slow as well for the moment. > _______________________________________________ > Open-graphics mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics > List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
