My question has to do with surround sound. My wife hates wires running all over the rec. room or any room for that matter. To keep peace I've had to disconnect my surround sound. I really enjoy the effects & would like to find a wireless solution. I've not been able to find anything satisfactory. Is there any possibility that wi-fi would solve this problem.

I am a great FAN of "The Bat" and don't think it gets enough "respect" in the glossies. I use it religiously. Maybe it doesn't look as "glitzy" as other Windows email packages but it is very easy to use, has many desirable features and isn't prone to those virus attacks that hit Outlook Express users. Total Commander is another real winner -- slthough it's not on the SIA list. The addition of "tabs" in its latest revision makes moving between folders a breeze. IMO it is much easier to use this "DOS-like" Norton Commander clone than drag and drop file management programs. I often "drop" files into the wrong folder using these programs and then have to go hunting for them. Another little utility program, File-Ex 3 from Cottonwood Software really saves time with those Open/Save Dialog Boxes. Unfortunately it doesn not work well with Corel software and so I use XFilesDialog when I'm working extensively with that software. I was kind of surprised at the same titles winning again too.
