   Yes, they're designed for use as PDVRs. But, a computer's a computer,
particularly when you can add your own hard drive, RAM, and external optical
drive (which I had anyway and was sitting here waiting for a reason for me
to have bought it). You can fit an optical drive in the Jetway, but since we
need it only to load the OS initially and for upgrades, an external drive
works quite well.

   Enjoy your tryptophan high!
