Abstract :
In this paper the author explains about his recent experience on the larger question about what´s happening as the Internet grows beyond its initial bounds of things we would all recognize as computers and into the broader world of consumer products. These products indeed have the beginnings of transparent connectivity and interoperability, but much of it is achieved through his willingness to work out a complex understanding of them and manage. The Home SysAdmin (HAS) duties are pretty clear: insure that everyone in the home can access their media and information, wherever they are.
