It's the new "Nintendo Entertainment System"
Remember Mario? You no longer press a button to have him jump, but wave your hand around like a moron!
Greg - Yes, the wii is a pain to use, but it's more a novelty and they ARE improving things. If they add in a wireless keyboard, it'll be a good replacement to my PC when I'm far away, and especially if I don't feel like using the wife's laptop
But typing by pointing and clicking sucks, and sucks bad. there's ways around it like "predictive text" but that only goes so far before it makes my head explode
