And cue the sour grapes.... Who didn't buy at $100, and didn't buy at $1,000 ; or even $10,000. I'm retiring this year.

Check out X2Go.org . It runs over SSH, and provides multi-user sessions, and resume-able sessions. There are Linux, Mac, and Windows clients. While it's not perfect, it is a million times better than VNC, and seems to get better with each new release.

Woo hoo. Finally I can treat the copy protection and CONSTANT recurring key checks as bugs in the software I have paid for!

The entire concept of Currency (Money), is the equalizer between dis-similar trades, and needs. Money allows someone like a woman's dress designer to purchase eggs from a local farmer, who is a man; and doesn't have any interest nor value given to the Dress design market. In effect, this currency idea would make the dress designer's currency "worth less" to those outside his/her circle. One can not survive solely within their single production circle. And I wouldn't want my currency (Computer Stuff) to be worthless to a butcher; I love BBQ.

And at worst, this reputation "Currency" further extends the High School like Popularity circles, and social hierarchies; many on this site thought laughable at the time. And the majority of us are glad to be rid of. Furthermore, it creates an ongoing social eliteism you can't escape, as your currency is tied to it.

The "team of researchers" link to their own domain/site, for this "amazing application." SPAM, IMO
