Well, I'm thinking Linux people may jump all over it.. If the Pepper
people are SMART (a dubious proposition, given history..), they will
release a full-featured API that allows access to EVERYTHING on the
damn thing, and a version that has both USB 2.0 and a Firewire port
(and maybe a IDE connector on the inside for good measure, and miniPCI
or PC Card).. Firewire would be a good idea anyway - hook it directly
to your digital camera and do,, something..
