Digital Home Thoughts: Axentra Net-Box Home Network Appliance

Remember those days of "website in a box"? Well now we have "Home Network Appliance" in a box. The Net-Box was pretty popular at CES 2005, receiving a couple of awards. The Net-Box is Windows, Mac and Linux compatible and works as an Internet gateway, firewall, 802.11g access point, and web/email/file server. I'm not sure if it supports DRM WMA/WMV files, but then again I guess people just don't care about that. :roll: Anyway, it is a little short on storage space, but given the fact you can add USB 2.0 drives to the "box", one should be able to store as much as they need. Could this be the begining of a revolution, or a misguided attempt at another Audrey? Personally I'd stay away from using the word appliance since usually it is associated with failures.
