I keep waiting for someone to figure out how to use a Gumstix/Waysmall
as a firewall.  That'd probably be as 133t as you could get.

I keep thinking I'll buy a gumstix for fun, but I'm still not too sure
what I'd do with it.  When *Cringely* can't figure out what they might
be used for, it just makes you think...
