[oO Peeping Tom Oo]

Wow! This'll open the door for much more efficient/interoperable embedded computers! Just think about it: A more advanced Big Mouth Billy Bass!

Yeah, I love this one [mini-itx.com]. It seems to defy the universal law that toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet. Or maybe they're inferring that it's a pussy magnet? Either way, I want one ;)

(apologies to MiniITX for the impending bandwidth onslaught)

Uh oh... now you've got me worried. What happens when a script kiddie hacks into my fridge and orders a million gallons of ice cream in my name? I suppose if it's a Microsoft Fridge (tm), it's going to need frequent patching. Or I could use an Apple Macintosh Fridge, which will be more secure but hold only a few kinds of food.

With built-in IDE, USB, sound, ethernet, and video, what do you need a PCI slot for?

Oh, come on, get real! PCI is only a small part of the problem. I need an ISA slot for my EGA card. And no MCA slots either! Where the fuck will my token ring card go without Microchannel???

Next thing I'll hear is that it doesn't even have a way to attach it to my cassette drive.

For some reason, I didn't think of NATting until after I posted that. Must not have had enough coffee. I think suicide would be a slight overreaction to such an oversight, however. ;-)
