You are totally and completely missing the point. Why should I buy a new system now? Why shouldn't I just wait until I need a new system when all this new software is available and pcs have even more power? Why should I reinstall and redo what I've got set up now? So I don't get the blue screen of death? WHY NOW? I see absolutely no reason. When is the butler coming? In 2-3 years? I already said I'd be buying again in 2-3 years. Look back at my previous posts. And I also said that I'd be buying a higher end pc not one of the low end emachines to take advantage of future software and applications. WHY NOW? Btw. My systems will continue to run the software I've got on it now. What if I didn't need new software? Then the only reason to buy again is if this one kicked the bucket. So why should I run right out and buy new systems NOW? You have 99 reasons other than the butler or is there only one you can think of: In 2-3 years I'll need it to run future software? Come on. I'm interested in the other 99 reasons. I might be able to use some. Please skip a home theatre system. The house is completely wired for that with surround sound and speakers throughout each room with the system set up to wirelessly control the sound and video independently in each room. Not run via my pc, but I like what I have (don't have holographic or virtual capabilities, but who cares?)
