I think USB will be the future (in the sense that you can have a very 
small box that does everything).  However, if you happen to be in town, 
perhaps you can bring those pcHDTV cards to McKinley?  BTW, is your 
house finished?  It's been a long while.  (I understand it is a big 
mansion, when are you gonna invite us over for a party?  Just kidding.)

I used to consult on VIA during one of their early patent infringement 
defenses against Intel.  VIA's next main push is on relatively "low 
speed" (1.2 ~ 1.6 GHz), low power, low/no noise, relatively inexpensive 
dual core processors with small L2 cache (256K), ideal for hign-end AV 
applications.  Perhaps they will be willing to donate a few of their 
single processor systems to help us build another (brand new) LTSP 
project (& hope they will appreciate the free publicity).  This is 
something I will be trying to work on during my next trip to Taiwan.  Wayne
