I think this is already part of the plan, but how about having both an
internal link cable and a link port, so that you can connect calcs in a
ring style? It wouldn't work with the TI protocol of course, but with MBus
it would. Imagine ten people sitting in a row in a classroom with TI calcs
of different colours, each hooked to the two neighbouring calcs, MChatting
or playing (yes the first(?) MBus game is on the way)... :)

IR would be even better, but I haven't yet heard of a MBus-capable IR
link...
