OffTopic > Browsing with the Wii...

Yes, it's actually pretty fun and usable.
Add the low power consumption (around 18W!), that it supports any (of my) USB keyboards out-of-the-box and it's quite impressive. :'D
Only the browser should come with it for free, imho.

And it's damn quiet. :')

I enjoy my Wii...

... Now, I hope that didn't come out wrong. ;'p

Greetings to everyone. :')

PS: Writing with the Wiimote is also fun. :')
And no, I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy. :'p X'D

Our Wii is offline. Damn shame too.

It's nice to see big N has taken the internet seriously this time around (NGC's network support was a joke), giving us a really great online "toy".
I hope they do extend their VC and WiiWare libraries, though. Also, downloadable demos would be nice (I went on a limb and bought "Defend Your Castle" for the remaining 500 WiiPts., and I didn't regret it... I sure was lucky this time round).

And the typical "elevator"-like music kicks ass (not as much as the actual elevator mucis in "Blue Harvest")! :^D
