Hi,

Ian, There's no point in designing a box (dumb or otherwise) if

is no software that will run it. Also there is no point in writing
software if there is no box to run it on. It kind of goes in a
circle.

To break the circle someone has to start first.

Mariss -

Yes, that might be true if we didn't already have so many
developments and advances available to us, to use as a starting
point. Here we have the opportunity to build on "prior art", as I
just responded to Ian. That puts my vote for the smart black box
(but cheaper), if we were to pick one of the previously mentioned
command sets as a starting point. Really, why would we want to
reinvent all three: s/w, h/w, AND the protocol (command set)?
