Given that the box is so small and relatively inexpensive, and I
already have a KVM on my desk, I'm very tempted to get one just to
play with OSX.  I've used (and programmed) Macs in years past, but I
have yet to spent any time with OSX.

The box has the potential to become a very slick media player as well.
Now that all of the big LCD TVs are coming with DVI input, this would
be the perfect thing to drive it with.  It's about the same price as a
decent scan convertor, and not even one that does DVI...
