I have to agree with you on the plasma feature, 355f. Getting regular "My expensive screen is fading" reminders seems a shot in the foot. As the feature self-calibrates every 100-hours, you could risk getting this reminder quite frequently, and at least every two weeks in most households with regular viewing patterns. But I guess this is more

I'm wondering about this "camera" -- do I really want to be reminded, regularly, that my screen is degrading? Given what it cost in the first place? Discuss!

No - coverflow is not available on the Touch surface when using Remote Buddy. You can access coverflow when playing the music stored on the iPod Touch itself. Remote Buddy accesses all the music you have on your central

I think you'd be significantly shortening the lifespan of your BS4500. The CD-player and tape-players have moving parts, with lubrication. Excess heat will dry out that. In addition, you'd be drying out electronic parts. (Given enough time, these will dry out -- but being placed close to a heat source would accelerate that process.) Not recommended

As silly as it sounds, Coolskin, you can beam a full resolution signal to an Airport Express from your Mac mini, using WiFi, and then take the digital toslink signal from the Express. That might be better than replacing a perfectly good Mac mini just to get toslink out.
