I know you guys are swamped with emails >.< so I figured I would take a stab at Eric Franklin reading this. You guys reviewed a USB drive that was lockable and it reminded me more of a Da Vinci code:

You guys oooooze awesomeness.

I crave a decent & affordable Windows Home Server 2011 box (hard to find since HP bowed out) and for Samsung to make a stand alone Smart Hub device.

One thing I do not crave is the BlackBerry Cyclone .

Take it easy and I will continue to enjoy uncapped high speed broadband in Korea.
