Keep working at it and you will describe the smart tv that is already on the market. Don't think adding sight and sound to a computer, think adding a computer to the sight and sound. The distribution and display is already handled - just the processing has hurt and they are NOW working on that. Jim Meritt

The trick would be getting it to listen to you, rather than the people on TV. Accidental stuff would be bad enough, but imagine what happens when commercials start instructing your set to turn up the volume! -- ### User Environment, Apollo Computer Inc. ### Public Access ProLine BBS ### ### {mit-eddie,yale}!apollo!nazgul ### nazgul@pro-angmar.cts.com ### ### nazgul@apollo.com ### (617) 641-3722 300/1200/2400 ### I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.

It's got a brightness knob, but it doesn't work. No matter how high I turn it, the stuff on the TV stays stupid. <mike
