Thanks Paul.  I'm exploring building a thin-client using Via's mini-ITX.
As usual, commodity PC has changed the equation.  Network boot (PXE),
CDROM boot, and other ways of implementing thin-client made sense in the
past.  But, with USB key drive, you can now just boot from USB keydrive,
and away you go.  100% solid-state machine at that.
