I am SO pumped about this; this will be my first console since the Sega Game Gear. I have been a diehard PC gamer throughout the 32-64-bit gaming generations.....I just can't resist the Wii.
I'm sold.
I agree that the _saw_ is a very nice saw; it has uncommon but useful features such as a riving knife.
This has been endlessly debated on woodworking forums for the past year or so; I think we all agree that the blade lock mechanism is a nice addition, but some (myself included) view it as an excuse for some to be careless at the saw. The most responsive protection mechanism is still no substitute for proper tool operation and safety techniques. The Sawstop will not protect the operator from a kickback.
I looked at Beyond Media a while back; I guess I'll have to check it out again, thanks.
I guess the cost turned me away (especially after paying for the BTV4 upgrade); I believe that it should all be one product as you mentioned. BTV is great for us and has served us well for the past couple of years. The interface is simple and they seem to have fixed all the leaks.
We do have Beyond Media Basic (bundled with Firefly); I know that it's crippleware, but I've used it to view some videos and photos.
Back in '04 I built a HTPC for my den. The case is an Antec Aria; this is a nice small case with plenty of style (you won't want to hide it).
My wife can use the interface (Beyond TV 4 running on win2k via the Snapstream Firefly remote), that means it's easy.:)
We also have some emulators, and use internet radio via iTunes, but there isn't a front end that brings it all together well (we use the keyboard and mouse when not in Beyond TV mode).
I have been following the mediaportal project for some time (http://www.team-mediaportal.com); I may try that again soon. I tried it about a year ago and had little success.

hahahhhah @ praxis tag.
Where are the hoverboards in SL!???!??! HMMMMMM?!??!?!
I wish this worked for there.com.
I hope that we're smart like in the movie and built TWO giant alien machines in case one breaks down.
I thought the same thing...until I read the rest of the subject line... :-/
