I got curious about 2 weeks ago, and went to the Intel web site to find out
about that.  I saw a page what was obviously written by a marketing man, spent a
lot of time reading how great it was, but couldn't find one word on how it
worked or looked, logically, so I assumed it was a glorious piece of
incompatible junk.  Am I tremendously wrong?  I did see that it was a low power
device.
