Anyway, what I can't stand about those www client things, is that ever time
you turn them on they have to download their onboard software.  you'd think
they would atleast build a rom into it or something.  imagine peak hour in
the evenings when all families switch on their boxes and the networks get
hit with thousands of requests just for the boot up software
