I don't think anyone would build a Mac Mini cluster for anything

Yeah, not to mention the difficulty of getting software to efficiently
use such a cluster.
Certainly was recreational fun to do it, though.
My biggest complaint about using remote control schemes is that right
now there seems to be no easy way to get a Mac to use _several_
different connection protocols at once.
i.e. Ethernet, FireWire, Airport, and possibly USB2
....all at the same time on _one_ network of Macs and PCs.
Do you think this will persist well into the future?
Is there a name for such multi-protocol operation?
"Sharing" another protocol is nice, but even that seems limiting to me,
in the respect that I can't seem to get a remote computer to do
_everything_ that it is capable of doing, if I was actually sitting at
the keyboard of the remote computer.
(getting rid of "modal" messages comes to mind)
