Thanks! I'll take a look at that. I'll probably start off with a Windows
solution simply because it'll be easy to get up quick, but I might move to
Linux if everything I want to do is possible. I'm planning on testing the
recording/playback quality on the tv as well - maybe make a pseudo Tivo/Replay
TV-type device.

PLEASE do. That sounds perfect for my needs. I have a Tecra 8000 Laptop and
have had Thinkpads before - I'm pretty fond of the eraser-head pointers. An
integrated keyboard/pointer solution would be a lot easier to handle than a
separate mouse/trackball.
