we had a project here that stalled on the guy who was doing it (students 
have classes or something -- weird!), to build a '9pod', that would be a 
small embedded device that would run plan 9 and import music from 
9grid.net*  via 802.11 -- and it would run an LRU cache so that it 
worked disconnected. It's what I really want -- ipod is ok, but needs 
connection to update, this would cache what I want from whereever I am.

So, yeah, I'd like to hear more ... whatever you do would be helpful.
