But, how would you run Vim or LaTeX? You would have to dial out every time you turn your computer on, no? Is that like doing network install, every time?
It's more like browsing with a proxy. After you browse for a day 90% of the sites you want are in the proxy and you can disconnect and keep using them. Then the remaining 10% will come in slowly, as you need it, when you connect. When you have too many you purge the cache (selectively or not). I like the idea but it practically requires broadband.
