I remember there was a posting on/. about mp3 decoding add on boards which could be attached to the serial port...so even a x386 could suffice as a mp3 player. If I remember right those boards had to be assembled at home and one could only buy the kit.
Would appreciate if anyone has more info about places selling assembled boards?

Does anyone have info about how many PC owners (non-technical) are using Linux in their homes? I feel that is the final step towards TWD.
