If *anything* is possible how about...
1. Free access, including acceptance of collect calls.
2. A multi-processor system which monitors its own cpu
usage and sends out purchase orders for more cpu-boards
when more processor power would significantly improve
poor response time?
3. Similarly for memory, when more memory would
significantly improve poor response time, the system
sends out a purchase order for more memory.
Similarly for other resources.
4. Multiple systems, so when one is down for maintainence,
the other would be available for use.
5. Support of X-windows (or some other network-based
window system). (Is that available via phone or
X.25/WAN connections?) My image is of client services
available on the Unix host, and the server (the graphics)
on the user's desk (perhaps in the form of an X-terminal.)
6. Availablity of the latest BSD-Unix.
7. Free connectivity to a wide variety of networks.
8. Freely accessible, and copyable, source-code for all
system utilities. Ditto for the os. Ditto for all libraries.
