I think that's a significant point, if similar turns out to be the case
with many of these devices, certainly for use with something "critical".
 That said, I also think there's nothing wrong with these kind of "stick"
PC's for lots of purposes, even if for fooling around.  That said :),
enough stuff is already flakey that has mass appeal/use, etc (not saying
these have mass appeal, just just sayin').
