I personally dislike using a browser on my Myth box for anything.  I do 
have a wireless keyboard/mouses setup, but I prefer not to keep it out.  
Also, web pages are not designed for viewing on a TV screen, and 
bumping up the font sizes is really just an ugly kludge.  For something 
like this ever to get significant acceptance & usage, I'd think it 
would have to be a 'traditional' Myth set-top interface.  I know I'd 
find it useful.

Just my $0.02.
