Brendan, You're right: you just don't get it. I didn't either until I saw what people were doing with it and how it could be used. Now I get it ... This is quite common for technologies that incite a paradigm shift in the *way* you work, not what you are doing. Whether I actually have a use for this technology I'm not sure yet. But it's good to know that a cost effective capability like this is available.
