What's a USB radio? Sounds cool, though.

Not sure about this one. I always thought Services for Unix was a server 
product, that allowed a Windows server to do things like export NFS 
directories. Am I wrong, or just woefully misguided? I might be interested to 
learn more, although I have no use for a Windows server now, and am unlikely 
to have a use for one in the future. So, if it is just a Windows server 
thing, I'm less interested than if it could be useful on a Windows client.
