If it ended up being a really good guide to your hardware, kind of like the
Device Manager in Windows, it would be pretty perky. But in its current
incarnation, it's pretty lame. ;-)

Perhaps it should not be built with Nautilus for GNOME 2, but you could hack
on it for addition in a later release? Heh, perhaps it could be the new
user's view of /dev ;-)
