Internet on the plasma.

Thought I might share a little project with you.

I purchased an old Wyse Windows Terminal off Ebay for AU$ 100 (40£),
and connected it to the plasma in my living room. It's just visible, the small
black box, right of TV. Add a wireless keyboard and mouse and voila...

...the Internet (and our forum) from the couch.

The device has an old version of Internet Explorer so cannot display anything fancy like Flash.
Silent and low heat, you just leave it on. Just change TV source selector to get back to TV.

Hey Vince,

Do you like cricket ?

Saw the auction today : Symonds went for 1.3 M$ :shock:

I thought you guys didn't like Symonds. :P

Well, that's because Ricky may not be available for the whole tournament due to a tour of Pakistan that occurs at the same time.

Look at all of the current Australian players - they all went for lowish prices due to not being available.

Symonds is the exception because he has said he will not tour Pakistan so will be available for all of the IPL.
