Can you give specific examples? Yes, there are times when old hardware doesn't work, but IMHO it is often when you get new hardware that doesn't have the physical ports. (Then again, I'm using an ADB keyboard from ~1985 on my Mac Pro on SnowLeopard through an ADB<>USB adapter.)

The major change I can think of is removal of AppleTalk, though I believe there are third party solutions for that (I could be wrong).

I didn't buy one, but at least for a while, they were VERY low priced plasma TVs, and as far as I remember, were fairly highly rated.

"Auguest"?

Why should we listen to someone who doesn't even take time to proofread his articles?

Since the e-paper wasn't commercially available 15 years ago, no, you couldn't have made one then. (BTW, I'm not going to buy one now either..)

The word you're trying to use is "won't".

You can turn off the backlight. I don't remember how to do it offhand, but it's mentioned on tivo.com
