I was referring mostly to newbies.  I don't think newbies will realize how
important the chumby is.  I see the chumby as one of the possible future
scenarios for what we now call TV.  People are focused on TiVo and all the
other media boxes out there, but the Chumby is potentially much more
versatile, because it comes at entertainment in such a radically different
fashion.  As the Internet continues to swallow everything, the potential for
the Chumby just grows and grows.

The user interface is what is so important about the chumby.  It is not
keyboard based.  That is crucial.  I would love to be able to interview
Bunny Huang again for the DTP.  I interviewed him about hacking the X-box
before the Chumby was announced or known, maybe even to Bunny.
