With wi-fi? I am aware of some servers the size of a PDA... instead of having
a beeper to notify you about downtime, or a handheld to remotely log in and
fix issues, you can actually speak to the [match head?] whenever it gets
fried. Servers as we know them will probably change in form. Even hard-drive
are replaced by flash-based storage that's getting smaller and smaller (also
more energy-efficient).
