Displaylink - Finally

I went looking to buy a new monitor today - and ran into something interesting. I rarely get excited about new hardware...but...I imagined something like this four years ago and now it's here!

I always thought monitors would ultimately be a similar resource to a computer as a webcam, keyboard or mouse. Imagine getting rid of the annoying cables and being able to chain them together USB style or use small 2.4ghz wireless connectors. Your monitor could be on the other side of the lounge and you could play your movie to it from your laptop with no string connected. Ah bliss - they are here.

There are only Asus ones in NZ so far I think, and surprisingly Dell doesn't show any. I think I'll have to wait till there is a bigger range...
