I don't really see any gains to that sort of hardware standard switching; whatever resources would be expended in agitating for such change might be better applied agitating for resolution-independence, or better, fixing non-resolution independent (free/open) software.

Wait... wait...

A tablet NeXT!!! That's what we all need!!! Should be easy too; I'm guessing you could cut at least ten Slates out of one Cube.
