    The MCC, or "mobile computer core," is a totally new PC architecture centered around a processor, internal battery, data storage and computer software applications. An additional power supply, display, communications and input/output connectors are accessories that you choose based on your individual preferences and work environment.

    The core consists the Crusoe processor by Transmeta, 10 GB hard disk and 256 MB Ram all contained within 3"x5"x3/4"--smaller than a typical PDA. Low power consumption makes it ideal for portable applications, and no fan is required. It will automatically identify and adapt its system, power management, thermal, software and user interface behavior, depending on the attached accessory.

    Use it to run Windows 2000, WindowsXP, or Linux operating systems. Use it in multiple configurations--desktop, laptop, handheld, tablet, or wearable. Above all, use it to simplify your life, save time and improve your access.

    government somehow implements the $.05/email they have been trying to pass for years.

    very little spam: cost = $.50 a day

    if the service could guarantee it, it might be worth it.

    obviously this would be an AOL type deal where everyone has to use the goverments mail servers, and nothing would be stopping anyone else from setting up their own mail servers... but it is a pretty good 'what if' in that sense
