<DIV><SPAN class=698473922-06032006>This sounds a lot like something I once read
in an article about Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center, it's a think tank
where people think up amazing things, most of which never see the light of
day). Anyway, a researcher there made little serial-number IR beacons that
people could clip to themselves, and then he installed IR sensors in a
bunch of rooms. He then did things like programming the phone system
to be able to follow people around and route calls to the nearest handset (each
person had a custom ring pattern). This was 10 years ago and would be
obsolete today due to ubiquitous cell phones, but it would be pretty neat if
Myth frontends could do the same thing. (Maybe the IR bug idea could be
recycled via LIRC?)</SPAN></DIV>
