the notion of a time line mean anything to you? In the 20 years since
the period to which I was referring things have changed considerably since the
density of hardware has increased so much. It makes little sense for vendors

a little more plastic, when they really don't need to be bigger than a cigar

The grandkids have Playstations. Adults might want 'em too, since some of the
games are pretty slick. I don't relate to that, myself, but I know lots of
folks enjoy a game as a form of diversion. I don't think anybody would
mistake one for a computer though it wouldn't surprise me to learn that
somebody somewhere had figured out how to make it run Linux. I just can't
imagine why one would want to.
Here it is:
Linux for PlayStation 2 Community: Home

I believe NetBSD also runs on Playstation 2.
