Reminds me of a story in when I was in university in around 2005. In our usenet group some people found a sale of used fw900s (definitely for less than 500€ each). They then organized a group buy, which had around 20 interested people.

Then they wondered how they would actually get all of those transferred across half the country. I think in the end they rented a truck or trailer to pick them up. It was definitely a bigger feat than getting a LCD shipped from your favorite online store.



I still want my desktop, which is currently a Dania dining room table, to be a display. Wouldn't that be cool, even with my coffee cup and junk sitting on it?

I also want a true wall-sized display. No, not a projected image.
