I thought it was a cool story to, and it was fun to listen to him talk about
the project. I have more questions for him, now that I've had time to think
about it but mostly, I just want to give the box a tryout. I've wanted one
of these boxes for a while but I never thought I'd have the chance -I had
read the above article but I just assumed that I would never get my hands on
one.
