1. In the next five years? I doubt it.
Haptic interfaces are tres cool, true, but 90% of what you saw going on in that demo was graphics manipulation. I'd guess for most people 90% of what they do on the computer is related to WORDS ... so I think a lot of us will still be keyboardin' it for a while yet. ;)

2. I think virtualized sessions and thin clients are closer to reality...
That just looks like another plastic fantastic lover.

3. So my Univac will be obsolete already?!
Oh well, I guess I can get that Sinclair I've had my eye on.

4. Don't sweat it, the prices will drop soon enough, I hear there's something
big just around the corner...
