That's not *precisely* the same thing, but that technology could 
probably be made into what I was talking about without too much hassle.

If one were to use NEC MobilePro machines, one would be able to create a 
portable wireless cluster using off-the-shelf hardware without too much 
difficulty, limited only by battery life and wireless bandwidth.
