Stop The Madness!

Onkyo's" NR1000 "future proof" home theater receiver - Engadget - www.engadget.com: "Not that we have $4,000 to spend on a home-theater receiver (why do you think we're studying up on how to turn a Mac mini into a media center?), but if we did, Onkyo's 7.1 channel TX-NR1000 would be a tempting option. The company calls it "future-proof," a marketing term that basically means "we've thrown in every feature, connector, and port we can think of, including some nobody is ever going to use." The really useful thing about this unit, though, is its modular nature. If it turns out that they really didn't think of everything, you can pop a new module into the back of the box and be on your way."
