I've thought of trying to use these boards to make wifi media devices disguised in old appliances such as radios and in
decorative boxes for the novelty factor. I wonder if there would be a market if the price is low enough.

I hate it when they forget the ice cream!!  Except for pecan pie, you really don't need ice cream with pecan pie, or any "cream" pie.
