I bet u anything u like that it`s similar to the printer-management sytem u get in companies now. When they run low on toner or something, they message the leasing firm who inturn send the company a toner.
LOL I bet this one sends coffee when it`s stocks are low.
On a slightly more serious note, although not that much, it`d be a nice thing to have in ur pc room... if u could hack a networked mp3 player into it, clock.. plumb it into the water system - used the cold running pipe to go past the hsf... hehe
