I'm a nerd and I don't want this. I can't imagine anyone who doesn't think fiddling with computers for its own sake is fun wanting this.

Maybe, maybe I might want it if it came in the form of a phone/web/desktop* app that shared my data around. Possibly to an always-on, minimal-configuration-required box that I could plug into a wall socket and forget about.

* phone is a must, plus one of either web or desktop - also you'd need it to be available on iOS and Android, so that's at least three versions

tell it about my wifi network, give it a name and password, and it Just Works
