Guys, I'm probably jumping the gun here. No, I'm definitely jumping the gun, but I've come up with a fun topic.
Assuming all you're interested in is remotely controlling your herd and surfing the Internet, both wirelessly, would you...
(a) Buy a cheap computer and farm out the processing of the web-page through a remote-desktop application(I don't know if this is actually a good idea or not, thought I'd throw it out), or...
(b) Buy a midrange computer to help process the webpage and concentrate mostly on the processor. (Because, hey...it's fun to have a good response time on webpages, but the main worry for everything else should be power consumption.)
