There is a good bit of "convergence" activity from the Home Theater side of the aisle as well. Products like the Phillips (?) box, which is a PC, a DVD transport, a line double, A/V Reciever all in one box. Its not totally cooked yet, but things will probably soon get to the point where people who just want a computer for the web access aspects will be able to buy a home theater and PC all in one. Evidentally the Phillips product has an awesome picture becuause its DVD output goes straight to its internal line double via digital connection (unlike the common situation where very expensive electronics are required to make up for the many D/A/D/A conversions required with external line doubles.) ---------------------------------------- Dean Roddey Software Weenie IBM Center for Java Technology - Silicon Valley roddey@u... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
