Of course, I'd be interested in such a box, BUT I wouldn't buy one!
The question is not how many people are interested, but how many people
are willing to budget/spend money on it.

AT&T learned this the hard way (cost $) with the UNIX PC, I understand
they bought quite a few from Convergent and got nice reviews, but no
sales.  Pity, it is a fairly nice box (if you put in more memory) for
the price.
