This is old news. A few years ago Delchamps grocery chain (may they rest in peace (went bankrupt)) had shopping carts with a touch screen in a few of their flagship stores (also had valet parking!). The carts would let you know what was on sale, locate products within the store, suggest recipes/ companion items, and play commercials for products on the isle.
Doesn't sound like this company is doing anything really that different exept add the web....
I've gotten several of these myself. Since they were kind enough to but a PAID return envelope, I filled it with other junk mailers (none that have any way to identify me) and sent it merilly back. Maybe if it costs them enough, they will think about it next time. With our luck, it will be a spam attack though...
I've read all the other posts and missed any mention of one of the best firewalls I've seen - SHOREWALL (www.shorewall.net). It even has a leaf variant - Bering (leaf.sourceforge.net). This firewall is based on the 2.4 kernel/IPTables. Impressive modular design and excellent support from the author (Tom Eastep) and mailing list.
From my 2.2 days, I was most impressed with the work done by Trinity OS (David Ranch).
just my nickels worth.....
