That's the one.  It sounds interesting, but not only do we not have
anyone who understands it, but we don't have the hardware.

I wasn't volunteering to do it either, it was just a random thought I
had because of the talk of terminals.  At this point my vacation plans
have changed yet again.  I'll try to keep everything away from SCALE
weekend, but am certainly not going to volunteer to be the lead on
something.
