Don't forget that some of us have PCs just laying around doing nothing
so if I can buy a sync card for $1000 and used it to connect my lan it
can save me money.  My point is simple, at least on  this list most of us 
have at least one PC so if I can squeeze yet another functionality
out of the box the better of we are  8)
