Yeah, I seriously doubt I'd have one if it weren't given to me.

The gadget-whore in me wants one really bad, despite knowing that it will serve me no purpose.

I'm sure I'll get one eventually. Maybe I'll leave it at the office or something.

Here's something cool, the makers actually encourage you to hack and open up your Chumby :

Of course, voiding the warranty ;) I'm still experimenting with the built-in webserver and SSH access. I hope people start really digging into this, it's a cool little piece of hardware. I'd love to see someone write an emulator for it with the ability to plug a controller into the USB port :D
