Has anyone out there thought about or heard of people who are
re-engineering sunos such that a diskless node can boot up off some kind
of high density portable storage devices (e.g. optifloppy or whatever that
can be put in one's pocket) as a standalone (or whatever) when all servers
on the net are down (e.g. as in a scheduled shutdown situation) so that
one can still continue one's work as usual (provided of course that what
is on the optifloppy or whatever is adequate and up-to-date) ?  This will
be particularly useful when one wants to take one's work home (literally)
over the weekend.
