Re: "Option d) would be to hook a PC up to the digital cable through"

That could be option c), e.g. @Home. From the Internet, to a national ISP for local cable operators, and finally into the home. Intel's still inside

Re: "I've noticed that the computer and TV are converging in my life."
The TV's going :)

On a serious note... have you ever wondered how prepared our PC crew here is in the USA? i.e. will Dell/HP be able to transition their low-end units (i.e. TV-like reliability/ease-of-use/lower cogs) to meet this convergence, or will we be broadsided by a Trigem PC/TV invention which will enter the market by way of eMachine's distribution channel? Just a thought.

Re: "ATI"
I have an ATI card at work, but what is All-in-wonder Pro?
Where are you getting the IP shows - is there an Internet TV guide? The last time I checked out the Real guide, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. But maybe it has been updated.

Re: "Super Duper 72" Hi-Def Digital Projection Sets to read email and surf the web. I see this as still the domain of the computer."

I think 5 years from now we will see every student with a winpad, reading their email on the go. In 10 years, maybe we'll be able to go to Kmart and pick out a "recipe hand-held" device for $25 instead of a cookbook. [It's a pain to boot the PC and print a recipe, why can't I just pick up a hand-held and walk into the kitchen with it?] A PC in every home and a hand-held in every room.

And with the rollout of the device APIs, we'll see a lot of goodies.

What does your friend envision now?
