If you want to wait to buy the HDTV, and have NetFlix, this could be an interesting choice. No list of price.

Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I've seen that announcement a few places - those sets will probably be more $$ than we want to spend. (And since Netflix is also promising Mac-compatible streaming, I can just run a cable from the computer to the TV and achieve the same effect.)

Speaking of which, if I wanted to connect my little aspire one to the tv, can I do it, and how? Would I do the video out that would go to a projector and then a separate thing for sound?

If your TV has a VGA input, then it's easy. If not, then you need something like this, or this.
My TV has RCA/S-video. Would one of those cables take care of sound as well?

For audio, you'll need this.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
S-Video does not handle sound. On the other hand, we plug the laptop into the TV with S-Video and just turn up the laptop volume.

Thank you!
My little teeny laptop has little teeny speakers, and I have to wear headphone to hear when I am laying right next to it! It makes me laugh.

Our 5 year old Canon G3 camera has died (screen to see what you're taking a picture of is dead; it does take pictures still) and we've been quoted $180 to even open it up and look at it. Anybody want it, or know a place that recycles/refurbishes digital cameras?
For that matter, does does one do with a basic point and shoot 35 mm film camera? We have 2 that work fine and I hate to put them in the trash... ah, the obsolescence of technology.
