[ale] mp3 player

[Robert E. Karaffa, II]

I like the Vaio idea, Robert.  For my money, I found 3Com's Audrey to work
as a front end player to my mp3 library.  Audrey can nfs mount the server,
has a touch screen interface, runs QNX, with a little web browser, has no
moving parts...all for less than $100.  Takes a little tweaking to make it
go, but, heck, I figure anyone who reads this list has 'tweaking' as their
middle name...
