If it uses physically shared memory, I don't think it continues to count
as a beowulf cluster.

I do dream of putting together a multiboot stack of 1U of athlons for
trying things out on.  I'm kinda interested in playing with tuple spaces
for shared processing, and also in playing with mosix (especially nice if
using miranet interconnects.  Oh oh oh. hot).

I really need to get faster at coding so that I can knock off more items
from my todo list.

Back to selection buffers and picking (although my Add. Wes. book suggests
that a custom solution might be better, I'm not so sure).
