Post-TV Opening Thoughts

What we are running for a set up…

  • 32″ Westinghouse LCD (SK-32h240s)
  • Wii  (two controllers and nunchucks )
  • 2.1 Logitech speaker set we got from eMusic four years ago for being awesome (that’s what they told us anyway).
  • Mac Mini (1.83GHz, Combo Drive, 1GB RAM, 80GB Primary, 400GB USB)

Our experience…

  • iTunes hates everything and commands all input devices like a jackbooted thug
  • Power settings needed to be tweaked in order to keep the display from sleeping while we watched anything on Netflix or Hulu
  • The keyboard is gorgeous, light, and responsive
  • The mouse pairs fast after being turned on and is very responsive
  • DVD playback is smooth and fast, far better than the Memorex player we were using)
  • Netflix Instant is amazing

In the works…

  • Importing 33000+ song collection
  • Ripping Gabi’s Sesame Street DVD’s so that discs are less likely to get damaged
  • Set up feed reader so we can browse news easily
  • Import our photo collection
