I think these I*Net appliances have a great future, especially in a family environment. Personally, I'm tired of waiting in line behind the kids playing a game or the wife doing something off line just to get to my email. I'm installing Linux on an old 486 to build my own Internet appliance, but most home users aren't that geeky:) They will be spending $150 on one of these things to get a second computer into the house.
