Re: Anyone seen / got on e of these?

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Really tempted by one of these Phillips units but ideally I'd like
something that could be networked!
Are there any networkable options out there that don't involve silly
prices or me making it myself out of a laptop?!

(last time I tried to dis-assemble a laptop for exactly this purpose,
there was a little puff of smoke as I turned it on to test it was ok
and a little grey whisp from around the processor!! eek!)

Guess a little touchscreen monitor like the lilliput ones from ebay or
linitx would do the job connected to a pc but thats poss a little
extreme and not very standalone?! Opinions?!?

Thanks

Noel
