That is where we're not speaking the same language. Everyone is thinking I am only talking about one page at a time browsing.

I would expect that browsing through webpages would take LONGER if I do it through a remote machine I've set up. That's why I asked about the added overhead of whatever I would use to control it.

Streaming video will probably be even more difficult than it is, now, but I might have more control over the quality of the video (meaning that when my hotel connection is slow, I could reduce the image quality and possibly still be able to watch the video - instead of being stuck with whatever it's encoded in)
