No tquite true, you can sit an audrey in your living room and use it as a digital pifctureframe. all the other stuff is hidden and only shows when you need it. Mine just shows pictures of family and friends. When I want to play some mp3's, i touch the screen and launch the player. If the phone rings the callerid pops up for a minute, the goes away. It's very useful and functional
How much effort did you put into it. and how long ago was it?
The audrey has mad pretty big advanes. you can basically make a small QNX install with alot of the functionality including USB support for input, configuration utilities, utilities, and more. You can browse the web, watch flash, play mp3s, stream Real and mp3, us it as a callerid, vnc terminal, address book, print to network printers and more
I'll admit when I first got mine a year ago, it took a lot of work to get all these things to work, but now there are cf images that allow you to add all these features in the matter of 10 minutes.
That's exactly what I['m doing with my audrey. The audrey has a nice touch screen so its easy to use. Mounts nfs/smb shares, has and IR port that you control with a learning remote.
You can buy them for about $100 and with a 32meg CF card update them pretty quickly. Mine has a digital picture frame that runs and pulls random pictures from a share, a full screen mp3/ogg player and a callerid display. It sits beside my sofa so I can get to it easily.
You didn't ask if you should use a linux/bsd/2000 box so I won't suggest that you do.
I just bought a 3com 3C510. They've been discontinued by 3com, so you can get them for about $50 at tigerdirect.com. The use the same board as the SMC Baracuda, so you can flash the bios to the SMC bios.
This will let you use both static ips and a DHCP pool. It will also let you forward up to twenty ports through the firewall to individual servers. It also allows you to setup a DMZ, has built in PPPOE, allows multiport aplications, and grouping of permission for specific IP ranges.
It really seems to be a great deal for $50.
I had all of this running through a seperate box, but I had to buy a 4 port 10/100 hub and for 10 dollars more got thisNits one less thing for my server to do, and it fits in a little cubby hole in the wall.
I agree that finding the groups responsible is an important task for the days to come, but I don't feel I, or the American people, would be satisfied with a trial and conviction.
This is a horrific situation. Our society is going to want more than jail time and electric chairs. People are going to want those responsible to suffer burns, suffocation and other atrocities similar to those suffered by the innocents.

I wouldn't count it out quite so quickly
