Imagine using the Wii Remote as controller, I.e. you can *point* the remote to an item on the screen, drag and drop it, fling the screen and so on... Anyway, we should wait on an actual device to see what kind of UI is possible... -- flattermann Christian Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android flattermann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82963 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Get a video card that supports HDMI and hook the TV to that computer. I bought a 35ft hdmi cable online for $28 plus freight.
