So Apple hope switchers will use existing keyboards and mice - makes sense for the mice but a typical PC keyboard would not have all the right keys for mac use ?
What about the 'Happy Hacking' keyboard ?
Not a huge change in the way we use keyboards but one of the more popular ones recently. Pity it never found it's way onto a laptop.
Although more well know for its clock project the long now foundation is also looking at this problem.
I thought the original goal of the doomsday project was to allow every school in the UK to have a copy. So there should be a BBC Master hooked up to a laserdisc player in almost every school ?

You will be advised to create a large swap partition, the basic rule is that your amount of RAM plus the size of swap partition should be at least 1 GB. Do not ignore this advice! Although the installer will complete the installation even if the above condition is not met, you will run into trouble later when trying to compile large programs and get frequent "out of memory" errors.
This memory requirement might seem strange at first, but the logic behind it is that Sorcerer makes use of "tmpfs", a virtual RAM drive which can also use swap space, to accelerate compilation and minimise file system fragmentation. Because of the "tmpfs" file system, Sorcerer expedites compilation by making the most efficient use of RAM. This makes sense as you are about to do a lot of compiling and the compilation speed gains are definitely noticeable.
Reminded me of a quote from an old fortune file:
Virtual Memory ? Wow! Now we can have really large RAM disks...
You can implement the hardware feature of the Tivo with the PC setup you have described but you are forgetting the benefits from the software and listings service provided by Tivo.
Features like Season Passes and Suggestions take the Tivo beyond anything that can currently be achieved by a PC setup.
