I think that NetPliance are fully within their rights. Sure, I wanted to
do this hack too, but that's life. They put these boxen out there to make
money. They know that the money is not in flashlights, but in batteries.
Now, the fact that they referred to it as an unauthorised modification,
that burns my ass. Unless there is a licence in the package indicating
that they own the device, you own it. You bought it and paid for it
yourself, they set the price. If they set the price too low, that's their
problem.
I will give NetPliance kudos for not using WindBlows.
