Very interested in the improved AppleTV, if the movie selection is good and new releases not too delayed.

Family night at the movies costs $45 or so, renting a high-def would cost $4, save $41, using 2X a month saves $980. Even if I were "forced to " buy a 50" HD-TV and surround sound system to make the experience comparable, its still a payback in 2 years or less.

Also interested in the Time Capsule. Right now I back up to a USB external hard drive plugged into the Mac, so if house is burgled or burns down, I lose the backup too. I could put a Time Capsule in the garage and have my backup more secure. Just need to figure out how a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme 11n co-exist, since I'd want the "main"wireless AP/router in the house where printers can be plugged into it.
