Or how I remembered how little things have really moved on since I first disliked Unix.

Everything's still there, gently rotting in cyberspace, gathering crust and grime, getting steadily nastier with time. Well the software is free so you've no one to complain at. The machines are perfectly logical, but history's landed unix with a lot of illogical baggage. Is it "user" or "usr"? Of course sometimes it's the one and sometimes the other... you just have to remember which to use when. It's a shame that the machine can't use the huge amount of memory it now has to remember a little thing like that, really.

Although you can look at the DNS 323 as a standard windows drive, in practice you probably need a bit more information about what it's doing. You can get that from the built-in web pages of course, but it's a bit of a pain to open the various pages if you just want to check that the thing's actually still alive or not. I run my box in a different building, so this is something I need to check on reasonably regularly.

Hence we have...

A Windows 7/ Vista (they are actually pretty much the same despite what the jurnos think) Gadget
