Anyone see this?

With USB VGA adapters available (some built into new monitors), they
walk the USB tree, associate the closest keyboard and mouse and call
it a terminal.  Kinda cool.  Plan 9 could probably do one better and
add USB audio to the mix if the rest of the chain were supported.

"Anyone who remembers what life was like before our evil overlords from the
Andromeda galaxy arrived will appreciate the transformation they have brought
