I'd have to disagree. I already have a PC and laptop I can use as a
remote. They would be nice as optionals but the total cost could blow
out.

All these other devices and software packages Slim would have to
support and that is expensive. There is a lot to be said for just doing
what you are good at and leaving the rest to others.

But then I work in IT and am comfortable around computers, it is not a
solution I'd recommend to friends who are not comfortable with
computers.
