Abstract
The application described in this paper consist in an embedded system based on a cost effective thin-client PC (the e-Box) and running a software developed in Windows CE environment, using .NET compact framework and C# as programming language.External hardware used with e-Box is:graphic tabletas pointing device, a VGA to TV converter for using a standard TV set as display, an USB memory stick and speakers. The application is developed for Romanian language but there is also provided necessary building blocks and interfaces to help other developers extend the platform for their own language and culture.
