But until then, admit that you're not going to see all digital media in the US for a few more years. And the 100/gig/sec connections will be so plentiful and so common that they'll cost as little as $20/month. And it will flow at 100/gig/sec minimum speed. I'll pop for the extra hardware if I must, but could you at least give us a list of what's been tested by Apple and vetted and is known to work like it's supposed to? Yes, we'll all be downloading our minds back-up in anohter ten years. Hey Apple: how about developing a Blue-Ray player which should be a simple upgrade to your existing player module.
The good thing about Mac's is the fact that they just WORK! Out of the box, for someone with no training on Unix - the darned things WORK and WORK WELL EVERY TIME! To be forced to buy additonal hardware, more software, and then hope they all will work together without interfering or messing something else up - sounds more and more like Windows than the Mac OS we all know and love. By the time I got round to buying the extra software, being a Mac Junkie since way back - I was already disappointed. Sadly, now the options are replace the superdrive in my iMac 27' and void the warranty in the process of course, then buy and install a blueray player software, then get them to talk to each other well enough to actually work. But UNTIL and UNLESS the internet's infastructure catches up - maybe not installing blue-ray compatible dirives in the newer macs is not such a great idea after all. I also know Apple is moving to an all digital download world. Then the 12 meg/second minimum speed seems like 128k dial-up from way back before most of you were born. That is until you decide to stream a DVD in Blueray/high def or whatever. We live in an area where we have really fast cable modem service from Cox cable (at an outrageous price if you odn't bundle the phone and TV service with it) but at least it's fast.
