This was Sun Microsystems' vision of computing in 1982, 15 years earlier.
"It's not so new but to the average person its new" - Steve Jobs in the linked video.
And prior to that, Digital Equipment was using "the network is the system" back the late 70s.
But then ideas and slogans are rather cheap, and neither DEC nor Sun are around any more.
Apple is still around, and Apple is still executing on their ideas.
He was even using NFS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_(protocol)
Your dreams may still be here tomorrow, but you may not.
I would love to watch a video of Bill Joy or whomever giving a talk about that.
