Shortly
after the board was installed, he wrote it up, and put details on his
website.

soldering iron, burnt a hole in carpet. Phil went out immediately, to
purchase small electrical appliance at discounted "bargain"
price, and had
hold hidden by the time Jo got back.

Immediately sourced a telnet-able power-supply-board from South Korea,
imported 30, and now sells on his site.

electronic
design shop after 37 hours research on the internet. Paul installed the
unit
in his bathroom.

> 7: Graham Howe

> -- implemented a "which PC do you want to reboot" website
using ASP, to
control multiple of Li's units. Graham intends to expand his site to
cope
with other products, and already provides access from PCs or ePods.

rack-mounted
it in a case from Maplins.

> 10: Mark Harrison

> -- placed a 3-year PC rebooting service contract with a large
American
company who went into Chapter 11 three weeks later
