     I think he was referring to Sun SmartCards.  It's kinda like
     a SecurID card.  The idea is that you can hand them out to
     your staff and they don't have to have a username/password to
     log in, they just swipe in.  With the SunRay client setup,
     it will bring up your last workspace and applications like if
     you had suspended a normal Sun workstation and booted it up,
     but a whole lot faster.
