here's a _sweet_ little embedded board if you don't have huge
CPU reqs.  I'm planning on making an order in the next 
few weeks from the distributor in Atlanta.  The price including
shipping (from TW) is around $300.  Contact me offlist if
you're interested in one - we might be able to get a little
better deal on the shipping, which was $20 for the last 
single unit I requested.
