As a musician and a geek I've got to say this doesn't seem like it'll take off. I'm too concerned about the "sound" that'll be generated by GoEs TM ( Guitars over Ethernet Standard. Yes I trade marked it:) ) I personally love the sound of tube amps as opposed to digital and I'm skeptical as to how well this will perform even if the tube amp is last in the chain, remember GIGO. Though I must say I have been very impressed with the latest innovations in digital amp modeling especially Line 6's products and I wonder if modeling will now become the realm of "hackers" being done entirely in software. I can't wait to Download the latest Bass POD Warez.
Best radio I ever owned. Only cost me $75, it has survived quite a few drops, and it was even left outside in the rain for a week. It still works wonderfully.
I've seen quite a few resonable requests for beverages such as coffee and beer but no one has yet requested the geek's main nectar: Jolt Cola. I'd love to have an establishment that I could walk up to the bar and say " give me some of your finest" and get a frosty glass of jolt. And for all you guys requesting women at this vaporous bar, try slipping some roofies in with your victim's Jolt the effect is quite surprising. (Just in case the sarcasm didn't come through the last line was only a joke and I take no responibility for your actions if you try this, as far as I know it's never been tested.)

Oh great!!!! Another weak plot for a Val Kilmer movie!(i.e. The Saint) Correct me if I'm wrong but that's about all that happened, scary or otherwise, with cold fusion in the 20th century.

Thanks for the info.
isn't this based off an Asimov book....I vaguely remember reading something like this already.

Cool, where'd I put that HTX-202.
To whome it may concern: I'm currently filing a patent for a Quantum computer case with "Don't Panic" stamped clearly on the front.
