Unicorns are kickass!
so, I just inherited a tablet laptop from someone's front lawn and I was thinking how I could use this piece of junk from the early 2000s, the monitor is still in tact and the tablet feature still works, its just really really slow, probably cause this guy did something weird with it.
Anyway, after I clean it out I was thinking of controlling a sound system with it, I always wanted to get a kickin sound system for my ps3 and Im thinking that if I cut a slot for the tablet into my wall I could control it james bond style. The only problem is, I have no idea how to get the sound system interface to the tablet.
I need a reciever because I want to use the optical on the ps3 for blu-ray and games and ill have other connections going into the reciever from the cable box, dvd player, wii, etc. So controlling the entire system with just the tablet is out.
This means I have to somehow sync the tablet with the reciever. It would be even cooler if I could turn stuff on and off with the tablet like some kind of wi-fi remote.
So ya, I guess im just trying to turn the tablet PC into a cool remote utilizing the wi-fi and maybe use it to store a couple gigs of mp3s.
Any Suggestions on where to look? or suggestions on the setup?
