netpliance hack

[Mike McVey]

Have any of you tried the Netpliance hack in which this new webtv 
like internet appliace is converted into a fullblown pentium PC, 
capable of running x86 software?

I just read about it in the NY Times and am pretty curious--$99.00 + 
hard disk, mouse and keyboard is pretty nifty, especially when the 
machine is noiseless (no fan), tiny, and draws about as much power as 
a clock radio. 

Maybe not that practical, but it sure is cheap. Its tempting to try 
it.
