CoolT Systems in Canada has just released a USB beer cooler, which does 
not come with a Linux driver. It's clear that this would be a useful 
peripheral for both programmers and users, and I hope someone will write 
a driver for it ASAP.

No, this is NOT a joke!

5V and not so many Ampere... too bad it does not suffice for a fullsize 
beer cooler (those 5 cubic foot big blobs).
