I'm looking to replace my old Apple TV   with something else. 

My old Apple TV has a limited number of apps for content (basically whatever Apple decides to add), so more variety would be nice. I have actually tried the newer 4th gen Apple TV, but that remote... Basically, after about 20 minutes of running through the setup and grabbing apps from the app store, I was fed up with the remote and had resorted to using my old one. After 30 minutes I boxed everything back up and back to the Apple store it went.

At this point I'm leaning towards a Roku, but with 7 or 8 different ones to choose from I'm not sure if spending some extra money for a higher end one would be worth it if the lower end/cost model would work just as well. I am also aware that there are other similar devices out there. Google has one and Amazon as well.

Anyone have any experience they'd care to share? Suggestions, comments? Thanks!

I'm currently working on a large format poster job and was asked to calculate the resolutions of the placed images to report back to the customer how bad they are going to look. Most images are placed at 150% or higher into an InDesign file then output from there. Does anyone know a formula for figuring this out? I'm thinking something like: original resolution / scale maybe? Thanks!

Does anyone know what the expected service life of an Epson proofer is? We have a 9900 and 7900 here and they both have been run into the ground and I suspect it is past time for them to be replaced. Sadly the only information I can find online sounds like sales stats about capabilities, etc relating to a new Epson.

So I was going through my print presets in InDesign and have a ton of them all out of order. Does anyone know of a plugin or something that makes managing presets easier? The long way that I know, is to export the presets individually and then re-import them in the order I want. It sure would be great to be able to reorder them directly from the presets menu.   :undecided:

A few times a week (more or less depending on how much work we have) I run a power cleaning on our Epson 7900. Recently though, the Epson seems to get "stuck" part way through the cleaning cycle and doesn't finish the cleaning. It sounds like it's running the cleaning, but just never finishes. The only way I have found to stop it is to turn the thing off, and turn it back on. After that, it runs just fine again. It doesn't lock up all the time just randomly.

Anyone have any ideas what might be going on? It doesn't seem to be affecting print quality, just the ability to run power cleanings.

I recently got a brand new Mac at work.  It has plenty of memory, but I often get out of memory errors when printing or opening files.  It seems to be a problem with the memory allocation to Rosetta since the error seems to only pop up when using older Adobe CS and CS2 programs.  Does anyone know what would be the real cause, or what can be done?  Our tech guy thought if there was a way to give more memory to Rosetta it might help.  We have customers that haven't upgraded to CS3 yet, so I still need to use the older software, and printing using a different computer is a real bummer.

Thanks for any help,
