When you only have the resources to get the doors, you get the doors.
Then next year you get the wall. If you never make progress to avoid
having a period where the computer is still not perfect, you never
secure your perimeter.
I would quite like to see bluetooth integration for bluetooth keyboards,
then maybe even a future phone will appear as a bluetooth keyboard and
you could take your own keyboard everywhere just for passwords.
Ubiquitous computing here we come! :)
Hm, I'm gonna have to look into the requirements for a mobile app and
integration - select computer from list (if the mobile app can see
bluetooth devices, use that to help), select "Switch User/Login", enter
password, screen logs in right before your eyes, cool! Have to only
allow it on a locked screen or the login screen.
