Subj: MODEL T USES
Ummm.... Imagine a network of Model T computers, doing *Real-Time* data acquisition, of, err, the weather! Yeah!! And so the machines, umm, have to be, uhh, like, y'know, uhh FAULT-TOLERANT! Yeah! Like, they, y'know, like COME BACK TO LIFE ON ANY FAULT! Yeah, no cold starts! And we can, like, have them, ummm, ALL OVER THE PLACE. :-) And, umm, how about, ehh, have these computers NETWORKED TOGETHER! Yeah! They could, umm, automatically call up a central server, somewhere, and AUTOMATICALLY UPLOAD ALL THE REAL-TIME WEATHER DATA! Yeah!!! And we could, like, have some real cool name for these things, like, umm... "OWL". Yeah!!!! For "On-line Weather Logger"!!! Heh! Cool, eh? Well, do you think that's exotic enough? Now if only we could FIND such an aplication in use. ;-)
