Canadian discovers just how much TV is enough

The Man They Call Robert X has an exciting column this week (Jon says ‘Exciting? It’s almost a manifesto!’)… all about a very savvy Canadian and what he’s managed to do with a bit of WiFi, some broadband internet access, a satellite dish and a serious Linux server. “…one PDA doing the job of two desktop PCs, a notebook PC, and three telephones.”
I read this and thought “this is the future”.
And then “some big vested interests are going to put a stop to this!”
