I have upwards of 1000 DVD's, two 29" CRT televisions, a wireless router, a desktop computer with an S-video out and DVD drive, a big fat stereo, and 200+gb of downloaded movies. We are moving soon to a larger apartment, will definitely include a projector and possibly another TV, as well as audio systems for each of the TV's if necessary. I want this digitized, unified, expandable (as we add movies and music) and controllable from my laptop, ideally with minimal wires. How, sirs, do I does it?

Help save my marriage! Thunderstorm fried our Apple Extreme Base Station (Gigabit), so we need another router. The problem is that 2 of our computers have wireless cards installed, but one, an old 450 mhz G4 does not, so we need something that can handle wireless traffic and Ethernet cable and is less than the $179 Apple Extreme Base station. All of the machines run the latest version of 10.4. Suggestions? The Base Station was solid, no problems, but I don't want to pay $179 again.

I want to attach a small (and waterproof) wireless camera to my mischief-seeking dog's collar and have it send images via the internet every 30 seconds so I can keep an eye on him while at work. He is restricted to an area with a maximum distance of about 200 metres from the wireless router. Ideally I could store and review every photograph over the day. How possible is all of that?
