Sit on the couch ? read a book ?
ah -
you need a multi-media slinging computer thingie -
one that can control your cable tv connection and display
what ever you want from the computer on the tv screen,
and combine the two in PIP .

I made such a beastie last year, first was XP driven, 2nd one was linux driven - and with a nice IR keyboard/mousie thing ?

you can sit on the couch , read the BOL and watch the olympics.
but ?

you're right - there's a big reason for printed material - i prefer it as well, when / if i can 'get it' .


warmest regards [Bill]
