First thing I thought of, too. Although I'm not sure I ever actually played the game. I just kept listening to the theme song, repeatedly pressing the spacebar to hear the digitized voice yell "Ghostbusters!"
Aside from what the others have mentioned, you are forgetting that the Beatles and Stones started out covering blues & R&B artists while they were working "their way up from playing pubs and clubs...."
Possibly there is some value to copying the originals?
"...is it a "plug and play" into a pre-installed wall jack?"
From the vendor's Web site (http://www.jadeintegration.com/jackpc.php), "Please note you MUST use the custom mounting boxes - the units will NOT fit into standard 1G pattresses."
As to who might use these, I work in a public school and am the only IT for four buildings, 1000 students and teachers, 250 PCs/laptops, and four (soon to be eight) servers. We are looking into thin client devices to cut down on the number of trips I have to make to school buildings in order to repair PCs. One of the concerns we've had is the physical damage the clients will sustain from young children accidentally knocking them off the table. A walljack thin client would alleviate that concern, while reducing (physical) maintenance, centralizing system maintenance, and improving my support times.
BTW, one of the points of thin clients is that you do not need to move them around. If someone moves into an office, they can just use the thin client that is already there - no need to swap PCs.
Some of your other disadvantages are solved on the server end. Need more powerful processing? Upgrade the server. Don't like IE? Install Firefox on the server and give users access to it.
Granted, no one is going to use these for AutoCAD or Quark, but for general office programs the video memory and resolution are sufficient.
All of which is a long way to answer the question, "Who would use these?" Someone who needs to adminster lots of computers that are only used for general office applications, that's who.
I've used Win 2k3 TS to print to local printers & access shared and local drives.
You cannot use published apps in Microsoft's TS. The remote user gets an entire desktop/profile.

I was really surprised how far down I had to read before someone made this comment.

They've also licenced all of Mozart's works for their upcoming Harpsichord Hero.
Don't you mean Chamber Music Hero?

I have a Rush Limbaugh-loving, card-carrying right-wing friend who swears NPR is entirely left-wing.
If you think that they are right-leaning, does this make them neutral?
