I am getting one of those Chumby Internet appliances for my birthday, father’s day and part of Christmas, they shipped it but right now, I kid you not, UPS tracking has it at a place called “Chek Lap Kok” - so I did and discovered my fly was open… how long have I been walking around like that?

Anyway it sounds like the tweakers are making new applications for it (the chumby) all the time… I hardly ever get in early on anything because it’s better to wait for the shakedown and eventual price drop. My “1/2″ car had a tape player in it. (You know, “The average American father and mother have one whole car and half of another” - Jerry Reed)

Getting back to the Chumby… I guess I shouldn’t mind that they ship this (presumably) direct from the factory… But I sure hope they have a decent instruction/setup manual, instead of a scrap of paper saying “not to use in bathtub” or “DO NOT EAT”.
