Hmmm...you have a good point.  It would _improve_ the quality of the
system greatly IMHO.  But as always there are exceptions to the rule.

I personally would like to build a system like the one in the John
Brunner novel The Shockwave Rider.  The system was a series of
chips/modules connected on the wall by conductive paint.  Of course
you wouldn't be able to take your system with you when you moved...
