Ok

I'm at work now and can spend more time replying despite a couple of trollish comments...

Holding and moving the Wii-mote to the top of the screen or bottom scrolls the page in the appropriate direction.  I was in 16x9 480p mode so there was no need for horizontal scrolling.

So much for the theory that the trolls in my "potential ppc Amiga real cheap" thread that you couldn't run a browser with less than 128MB and a hard drive.  Despite the fact that I had IE running on WinCE devices with only 32MB.

Typing is fairly painless.  Click on a textbox and a keyboard entry screen pops up.  As you click on keys, a line of possible words shows up below the text area on this screen that suggests about 7 words that you might be typing so if you see the one you want, just click on it and then click [SPACE] and repeat until you are done.

Strangely I has a black border at the top of my screen.  I wonder if it's using some non-standard resolution that my Samsung DLP 50" didn't quite know how to handle.  Everything was fairly readable from 10 feet away with the exception of the smaller text in the "Who's Online" listing over to the right-side of the Amiga.org page.

Now when watching football, I don't have to run into the other room to get a scoreboard update from NFL.com, I can just switch video sources and keep the page up.  Joy!

Oh yeah, it's an out-and-out flamewar up in here.


History has proven that is doesn't take much here...
