Well.. if me saying "wow that would be nice" and Jim doing all the
work can be seen as working together.. sure :)

I am hopelessly inept at hardware things, so at the mercy of those who
know more to connect the Pi (or anything that could do the networking
and other stuff, i don't have any special love for the pi).

I haven't heard of any progress from Jim but I will never give up
hope!  As Nick pointed out, the Pi isn't the perfect platform anyway,
since it does need some time to boot up.  We are getting there though.
Some day....
