Absolutely. And memory is getting cheaper and cheaper. Might be cool
to have some sort of application server running though. An interp
that keeps running and then executes jobs submitted over some sort of

it could be a pretty cool thing. I don't really think it would take
any special programming either. Just set up a perl script to recieve
jobs and then eval them.
