I wish they wouldn’t bring it back. It’s was such a good feature that has not been replaced. I think most newer Mac ppl dont even remember: but all Macs use to come with remote and you could enter a content only mode called front row, had this little curtains animation opening like a show, which like a super early version of Apple TV.

Then when the battle for the living room heated up in 2000’s they ditched it going in the direction of Apple TV. Also it was cheaper to ship without the remote and make ppl buy an Apple T$.

I miss it was amazing. I could have tons of stuff on my computer, and my mom could just pick up the remote hit the button and instantly have all the latest photos, media, music available in this super simplified media juke box mode.
