Or "Buy two, get one".

Whatever it's called, it's a good program.

I have not yet tried mine out on an IPv6 net - all of my wireless is 
IPv4 and I did not find a driver module for a USB based copper ethernet 
adapter.

I did not notice any network management hooks (such as an SNMP server), 
but I may have missed it.  I'm kinda concerned about the issue of 
managing (locating?) and repairing these things in the field and my 
first scan suggests that they were a bit light on the diagnostic tool 
side.  On the other hand that might be readily cured via a collection of 
tools on a USB "thumb drive".

Mine (accidentally) underwent the drop test - it survived.

Keyboard is too tiny for me to use in any efficient way.

I use the same CPU and companion chipset on another project on a 
different hardware base.  I don't have to do the bit pushing to do 
graphical user interface.  The slowdown seemingly caused by the burden 
of driving a GUI appears rather significant.  If my experience is 
indicative, its raw computing abilities are much more than the speed of 
the user interface would suggest.
