Very improbable, as this route has been gone down before; there were card- plus
software-based packages in the early 1990s and they died off.

Brutus might be of interest to about seven aficionados but, given that too many
people still come close to dying of fright when the PC case is opened, it has
little chance of becoming mass-market. (Never mind other issues such that
programs are already too strong, or that laptops are now being marketed at home
users).
