C'mon!  I'm typing this article from a Sun SparcStation SLC which is a monitor
and a keyboard and a mouse.  Very nice, no pizza box, all the chips are in
the monitor case, together with builtin ethernet and sound and up to 16 Megs.

And there are PC diskless workstations that are completely contained in the
keyboard, just add the monitor.

Now a good trick would be to get a pair of those Heads Up Display style
monitor-in-eyeglasses and fit a Mac in the bows.  And all you'd have to
do is hang a mouse off of them.  Heh.
