Default Re: A million-[insert currency] idea: For free!

Certainly there would be an upgrade cycle, but it would be the cycle of the desktop rather than the laptop. Laptop upgrades typically require whole machines. You can do a little bit with PCMCIA cards, but its nothing compared to the piece-meal upgrading you can do with desktops.

You would do mouse and keyboard with a mouse and keyboard. They would either be wired to the screen, or wireless in their own rights. TFT on-screen keyboards are terrible, terrible input devices that shouldn't be considered.

You could make the screen have a PCMCIA card slot for the wireless adapter, making it updatable too. 0 need to stick with obsolete wireless tech in that case. Monitors can last a long, long time.
