here again is the case for linux in the bios, if only the flash parts were 
big enough. Linux in the bios could easily drive all usb devices for mass 
storage, and boot linux off the mass store. Without linux in the bios, we 
will have to write all that code and deal with all the hardware bugs. 

If only the flash parts would get big.
