Hmmm, I wonder if you could get Mainlobby to run on this. If so its a pretty touch screen.

I don't know about Main Lobby, but there's a PHP based recipe program that I've been waiting to run on one of these.

When I first read this post I got really excited. This was exactly the thing I was looking for............but then...........

I read the specifications....

"It does not have a hard drive and it will not play or read CD-ROMs designed for PCs. The cur-rent version of the product does not support file transfer, file sharing, print sharing, and other LAN/WAN functions. Updates to enable this functionality may be available in the future. "

So basically it has not use as a HA system, as there is no way to load the software on it. (Such as CQC net viewer.)

Sighs........ Guess I have to keep looking
