I owned a Chumby right off the desk of it's original designer, @bunniestudios.com.web.brid.gy. I won it as part of his regular "Name That Ware" contest. It even started showing his vacation photos when I first plugged it in.
Alas, it was lost in a fire, but kept it going for years.

OK! I took apart one of my satellite stations, and the metal cans near the output (I'm guessing transformers) do -not- have the scorched look the ones in the router/base station (which failed) do. Smoking gun?

Hey @inoreader.com, could you come up with a browser extension for bookmarking articles like Pocket has? And a way for the phone app to bookmark links like Pocket?
Then save the web pages in a "Bookmarked" folder? And display them with all the ads and gunk stripped out?
