Remember that the replacement should be free of $$$ cost and
installation be available on Linux, Windows, and Mac O/S X. It _must_
be as simple to install as falling off the proverbial log, so Dear Old
Aunt Tilly can make it go.
Honest, I'm all for a more acceptable replacement if something else is
both available and as easy to install and use.
So - do you expect your Aunt Tilly can do her own plumbing when a tap
leaks? No - she calls a plumber.
Personally I like solutions that work as expected. If your Aunt Tilly
needs a voip phone, I want to configure it once and never again.
As long as she knows how to dial, she'll be okay. (and that was hard
converting her from a ducatic pulse dial to a keypad)
So back to the original question from John
Phone --> VOIP
TV --> media centre thing
Family Photo shoebox --> digital photo frame
Any data storage that you care about (photos etc).... raid plus backup
plus offsite backup.
