Truly horrible idea for a hack



Today, Robert L Krawitz gleaned this insight:

> So here's what we do.  We set up the biggest, honkingest machine we
> can find, a Starfire or a mainframe, as a client.  Remember those?
> Those are those little things that are supposed to be floating around.
> We set up the Visor as a server.  Remember those?  Those are big,
> honking machines that draw more power in a second than all the Visors
> in the world will draw in the next 10 years.  And we run Netscape on
> the Starfire, loading pages from the Visor.
