This is going off-topic ... but...

1. I love my SB3 with the VFD, it's quite beautiful.  It's very bright,
and with the text set to LARGE, I can easily see it from across the
room.  I do wish that it could display more information sometimes, but
I'm willing to give that up, as I can easily use my laptop and the web
interface when I'm doing something that requires more information than
what fits on the SB screen.

2. I agree the LCD would be a good choice for the remote, as I'd really
want the cost of that to be kept as low as possible, and VFD is also
simply too power-hungry to use on a remote relying on batteries. I'd
also like it to be full color displaying album art and such.  LCD and
OLED displays are coming down in price so much, I'm sure a remote
capable of interacting with the Slim web interface could be built
economically.  Unfortunately I fear that it'd be priced to high (no
matter how inexpensively it could be built) for me to justify the
purchase though (at least initially) ... because that's how the
electronics indurstry is.
