My sister in-law as one of these as well, but we managed to persaude her
to get a proper PC in the end.

Going off in a slightly different tangent - has anybody here played with
the guts of a UK Tivo box yet (which runs Linux on a 50Mhz PPC)?  I've got
one of these (which is working very well except the bloody thing's clock
keeps going out of synch way too often for my liking and even with the
daily updates it doesn't solve it completely - I would like to install a
wireless ethernet card and then get it to a time synch with my desktop PC
one of these days).
