At the time they were actually pretty impressive, but SLI was not without flaws, and it was expensive enough to get one, let alone two. So I don't know if it was a lame hack, but it was quickly made obsolete.

 Laptops that you can build yourself would be nice. Everyone needs to come up w/ 1 form and everyone use it, so all parts are interchangable and stuff. Just like tower PC's


Those would be desknote laptops. I think by ECS? They're fairly inexpensive as well.

Yeah, and they're right too. That was in the article I linked to. But after all "it takes a lot of risk and effort to go from the lab to the shelf for any new technology". I think if they really wanted to push forward with BPL, they could find a way. I mean, what about the lines that are buried underground? Would they pollute, too? If so, then you've got problems...
