I keep the bathtub free of electronics, especially a computer. Tub time is relaxation time :)

I wouldn't be too down on your setup. With your method, you don't have to have bulky stuff laying around all the time. I'd simply be happy if I had a place where I could set up movie night :)

I don't think they make film for the sx-70, but I'll have to do a bit more research. It looks like a company out of the netherlands is making sx-70 film(so says the wiki page), but I could be wrong.
I just ordered some fuji pack film for my 2 Polaroid Land Cameras (a 250 and 440), so we'll see how well they work.

Elizabeth, last year replaced my factory stereo with an inexpensive Sony model that has an aux jack on the front. The sound quality is great and it was pretty easy to install. I think I paid only $70-80 for it.
Just for reference, this is my model:

I'm really excited about Time Capsule. I'm looking to replace my old router (4 years old) and add some network attached storage, and this will enable me to combine them into one device.
Take that cords!

Ethernet over powerline. - You can network your house without new wires. You can also use it to extend the reach of your existing wireless network. I want to use it to hide a networked hard drive or two in the new year.

Art,
Don't be too down on yourself! You're almost there.
I think you've got most of what you need to get 3 out of 4 of your goals met without spending a lot of money. In order to be able to hook up multiple devices to the airport extreme, you'll need to get a USB hub. Make sure you get a usb 2.0 hub, otherwise your connected devices will go slower than they should. Hook your printers and hard drive to the hub, then hook the hub to the airport express. From what I've read, this setup should do the trick.
In order to stream your music to your receiver, you would need the airport express, as it has an audio output on it that you can use to hook to your receiver. I don't know the specifics on configuring it to work with the airport extreme, but from what I've read it sounds like it should "just work."

I'd love to!

I love this group and I've found some of my favorite photos there.
Every once in a while, I'll find something amazing at a thrift store and it'll be on flickr the next day :)

Curtis,
How many speakers did your system come with (ie, is it a surround-sound system?) If your computer supports surround-sound speaker systems, it has multiple output plugs. If this is the case, you might have plugged your speaker system into the wrong plug.
If you have a surround-sound system, then make sure everything is plugged in completely. I had a similar problem with a speaker system in the past and this was the issue.
If neither of these suggestions helps, could you post more info (how many cables, plugs, etc)about your speaker system and maybe I can help more.
