I just got the Wi-fi connector I ordered last week and finally have my Wii hooked up to the internet. The software is pretty decent (some form of Opera, I think.) Typing’s a bit of a pain since you use an on screen cursor. It’s like typing with one finger. Oh well, it’s still pretty cool. Note - This is thoroughly mundane and pointless so I’m putting it her. Mods - Move this as you see fit. ---

Youtube works well on the Wii, so you can watch fullscreen Youtube content on your TV! ---

The Wii has been out for almost 5 months now and I still haven’t been able to find one. (Well, I saw a couple in the knock-off markets when I was just in China, but I didn’t want to throw money at that when it might not even work.). ---

I can’t find one at any store anywhere in the Bay Area. I’ve just given up looking for now, and might try again sometime in July or something. ☹ ---

Heh, and the fools made fun of me when I sat out in front of Best Buy for nine hours to get my Wii. Amp, who is also posting from his Wii. ---

Sorry for the bump, but “Wii” is too short a term for the search field to search. Q: Wasn’t there a thread listing/suggesting apps/programs for the Wii that were downloadable? We just got the internet hook-up and I’d like to see if we could maximize the experiance. You know, for my son. no, really… ---

I love the feature, but I can’t get my stupid Wii to hold its settings with my wireless router. The only way I can get it to do so from session to session is to turn off encryption on my router (leaving it open to the neighborhood). Very frustrating :mad: ---

The new updates to the Internet Channel are very nice. I like it better than I did before. As long as we’re posting Wii-gaming links, here’s [Viidelectrix](http://www.videlectrix.com/vii/)- games from the Homestar Runner website redone for the Wii. _Population Tire_ is my favorite, but burninating peasants with Trogdor and asploding Strong Bad’s head are nothing to sneeze at. either.
