What you're talking about is search brokering. Basically, you have one server which acts as a "broker" (or a Meta-Search engine, if you will). It sends queries out to search engines and collates the results.
The difference between brokering and meta-searching is that each of the search engines in a brokered system categorise and rank their results in a consistent manner.
Thus the brokering engine can return you a list of results that is meaningful.
The protocol can be simple HTTP. Instead of indexing a remote site, you just call a standard URL such as http://site.name/cgi-bin/broker-server?...
The arguments/parameters for this search could be based on the fields used in Dublin Core (or just skip to RFC 2413 - Dublin Core Metadata for Resource Discovery). However, Dublin Core is quickly being converted into a really complicated library-style cataloguing system. Perhaps something else exists that suits the purpose.
It would be even worse if you didn't use encryption in the message, and hoped that SSL would "protect" your data.
The messages would end up stored in plain text on the server, then when some drug addict steals your web server and sells it at a garage sale... all those private messages end up in some cyber-terrorists hands.
At least in encrypted form, and not stored centrally, the privacy violations from stealing a doctor's or patient's PC would be much less.
The Palm was never intended to be a replacement for a desktop computer. It's main purpose is to be an electonic diary you carry with you to synchronise with your Lotus Organizer or Claris Organizer (now called Palm Desktop), and Quicken, etc.
Admittedly, $AU800 for a Palm V is a little expensive, but I was sold on it because of a few little utilities I found on PalmGear:
The Palm is supposed to be a data logger, with the processing being done on the desktop. There's no competition between Palm and Windows (besides, I use a Mac on my desktop).
I looked at WinCE once and the interface was so familiar, I was waiting for the BSOD (or h ere). Microsoft's biggest mistake with WinCE was underestimating the emotional decision that a user makes based on previous experience with products that have the same interface (ie: Windows 95/98/NT).
That, and the fact that a Palm III can run for weeks on one set of AAA batteries. A WinCE machine runs for maybe 6 hours. However, I got the Palm V with the rechargable Lithium-Ion battery (more dollars than sense). Besides, it looks sexy:P. Next on the list is a Sony Vaio (just like Steff's)
Well... if you use PGP for Windows or Macintosh, you get this nifty menu that allows you to encrypt/sign or decrypt/verify any selected text.
This setup won't work with PGP/MIME, (multipart/encrypted), but it will work with inline stuff (you know, the messages that start with "START PGP SIGNED MESSAGE" or whatever it is).

You shouldn't need to take a drive off-line for a hot-swap if a RAID array's been designed properly.

As for configuring the BIOS, why use the serial port? You have the

Umm... somebody tell me where to find the "real" answer, but when I tried to create a RAMdisk, I could only get 8Mb before the ramdisk device failed.
Is this limit a compile time, boot time or run time variable that I can change?

So I doubt they've got the $10,000 to pay a professional web site development firm to make a pretty web site.
