(Same here)

I keep hoping that some PC KVM switch maker will put a 10baseT jack
on the box and install a PCanywhere server (or something) as a
front end to the KVM switch.  I've suggested it to a few vendors.
They thought I was sick.  If two of us mention it, in harmony
perhaps, they'll think we're a couple.  And if three people walked
in and mentioned it, they'd think we were an organization.  But
can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day,
walking in, asking for a PCanywhere server in a KVM switch, and
walking out?  Friends, they may think it's a movement.

(Sorry, I got carried away)
