its pretty simple idea but here it is.
I think it would be cool if the advanced computers would have built in modems. that way you wont have to use up an extra block in your structure for the modem. (ex. I build password locks using computers (that log the entrys on a remote computer) and I have to leave an open spot in the wall (on one of the exposed sides or behind the computer) for the modem and by having the built in modem it would make the advanced computers more usable other than for drawing).

I would love for a floppy drive to be built in but that would lead to a UI issue, but a built in modem wouldn't make a UI problem the only real change is that there would need to be a new side option for the rednet arguments for internal.

well I was just thinking of adding a feature to the new advanced computer block. not really adding a block just making the advacned computer more useable
