The lack of a server does strike me as a very useful thing for a lot of
consumers, but this thing still needs a computer, so what's the
difference?

Maybe this is covered somewhere else, but it seems to me that the
squeezebox is really half a product.  I love what it is and what it can
do, but it strikes me that for many consumers, the lack of a simple plug
and play server box is a serious hurdle.  

Does slim have plans to market a simple NAS box or similar to
compliment the squeezebox?  It strikes me as a natural.  I'd love to
see something like the Kurobox (with more processing juice).  It could
be an embedded linux box with slimserver built in, and a sizable hard
drive (or a pair).  With samba running, it would be super easy for the
average joe to add music etc.  It could be totally turn-key for the
average user and configurable for the advanced guy.
