or in a deskdrawer, or attached to the monitor, or lined up with your
paperbacks. 

I have a teeny (sized) usb hard-drive with I forget how many gbs on it but
with larger storage than any in-build hard-drive. I suppose it is slower
than the fastest spindle hds but in 5 yrs this may change. 

why can't other components be both further miniaturized and still
swappable/expandable?

but otherwise I am with you: I can't imagine replacing screen and keyboard
with something teensy-tiny. but we won't need big boxes sitting on the
floor. there will have to be some kind of other interface that does away
with fingering in the data. 

or perhaps a kind of virtual-reality keyboard which hovers in the air and
a screen that can be projected onto a suitable surface.
