True. But having the ability to do that on your own Hardware is still something desirable whether or not you choose to. Yeah I doubt I will pull up a terminal very often from the television LOL. But if I need or want to I still want it there. :-)
I got a nice little keypad that has a television remote style interface on one side a little rubbery keypad on the underside and an accelerometer inside to use for Mouse input.
I used something like that for a while but I didn’t really use the keypad side in practice and the quality of that remote was kinda crap so the most used buttons (normal remote ones on the front) quickly became unreliable. Also I don’t find the airmouse all that convenient to use.
I replaced it with one of these plus I also have a perfectly normal keyboard and mouse connected to that mini-PC in case I need to directly use it (which is rare since even the homeserver stuff I normally do remotely from a normal Desktop PC via SSH).

Well, in all fairness I still have a keyboard and mouse wired to that setup, though it’s very rare that I use it.
