We have a computer in each bedroom, two in the living room, and one in the
dining room.  I would LOVE to get a WYSE terminal in the bathroom..  heh,
but what would my friends/parents think?  I could hear my mom now, "Did
you write this email while you were on the toilet?!"  laugh.

I wish I could make my beeper do that, but it would usually cause undo
panick when I am not near a terminal, you know, like those car alarms that
page you?  Heh, be in the middle of a movie when it goes off, except there
wouldn't be anything you could do about your computer from a theatre. ")
