How much CPU does Nebraska take on the client end?  That is, VNC is pretty
good for making the higher resources of one machine available to another
with lesser processing speed.  While programming in MVC or limited Morphic
interaction is OK on my 206 MHz StrongARM, when at home, I'd love to be
able to use the speed of my iBook without having to leave the comfort of
my living room (I have an AirPort card for my Jorada 720, iBook is on
ethernet).  Would this setup be advantageous, or would it stil lbe slow?
