A document-conferencing system, the HP OmniShare lets two people in different locations share graphics, text, and handwritten information while they are speaking on the telephone. Data and voice are transmitted simultaneously across the same standard phone line. You can load your documents into the notebook-size tablet directly from your PC or via any standard fax machine or modem. With an electronic pen, you can then annotate the bit-mapped image of the document that appears on the tablet's screen, writing and viewing each other's comments in real time. You can flip through pages and rotate or zoom in on graphics; later, you can print the annotated documents on your printer or fax machine. The $2595 unit stores up to 500 pages.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
