Hmmmm, "pervasive computing" arrives ? Looking for alien signals or breaking crypto keys on a car stereo thats simultaneously entertaining us by playing The Offspring or some other modern beat combo ... I like it ! Whats next ? distributed.net clients for the Palm VII ?

Actually if an empeg unit running a, hypothetical, SETI@home client isolates a genuine alien signal I wonder how they'd write it up ?

Ah for the wings of any bird
