Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] net-enabled microcontrollers for appliances, VCRs, stereos

I should look harder before i post...the simm module is $50.00!! Damn.  But
i still think this would be worth it for applications, not the vcr of
course, but for say...security system. etc.  If you could combine this with
wireless networking, it would be extremely easy to develop mobile robots.
This would kick the pants off of the MIT Handyboard, which is really an
archaic MPU system anyways..

I think i'm going to buy one of these :P
