I was wondering what everyone uses their i-op for? I have heard the following reasons:
1. MP3 device for the car or home audio
2. GPS / navigation
3. Oscilloscope
4. Portable IT / network admin tool
I am currently building my first i-op. Wanna know why? (If "no" -- sorry you're gonna hear it anyhow)
The company I work for recently started monitoring our computer usage and all terminals go through their network. I like the idea of the i-op because it is small enough to fit in my locker, yet I can occasionally plug in a phone line and get on the net! (As long as it's a local call -- they don't monitor those.) A few of my co-workers have laptops, and recently I finally began to understand why! No Big Brother!
(PS -- yes, I do all my work, and you can usually find me playing around with Excel spreadsheets, not playing games. But I still don't like the idea of Big Brother!)
