Very true, but looking at the OQO system gave me the following idea: the
computer displays a standard 2D board with icons, however you put real pieces on
it. Then, a touch screen would allow several methods to input piece movement,
using the pieces themselves of course, no pen or manual input... I don't have
any such hardware for testing, but a simple "proof of concept" could probably be
programmed on a standard palm computer... what do you think?
