That's exactly what I'm doing. It should be available within the month
sometime.
I don't know if it would be appropriate to announce availability on this
list, but
if Isaac approves then I certainly will.
I'd like to ship flash and PXE boot versions, and I'd *like* to ship
software, but I won't
at least until I can get a lawyer's opinion. Unfortunately I don't know
any lawyers.
I'll probably only ship to US customers as I have no experience with
international commerce.

I'm not currently interested in this market. I know of at least one
other fellow who's doing it
now, but I'd prefer to stay out of it at least initially.

That's what I'm hoping for.
