    Why doesn't the Linux/OSS community come up with an embedded, tiny-ass Linux hard drive like the iPod, with some simple GUI-and-pen based features, a 6 or 20 gig drive, firewire and not much else. We could greatly increase the establishment of Linux by having it up for sale to desktop users, and M$ won't be able to make quips about usability anymore.

    Of course, having Linux in just another file server is nice too, I guess.
