From my understanding, you need the remote.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

FrontRow only works on Macs that originally ship with the remote.

Not quite. It's only installed on Macs that originally ship with the remote. There are ways to get it on other Macs.

That's not quite right, either. At least in my experience. The Mac Pro I used at my last job had Front Row installed (it was in System/Library/CoreServices at least), but wasn't enabled (no mention of Front Row in the Sound System Preferences pane etc.)

Ok, change that to it's only installed on Intel Macs or PowerPC Macs that originally ship with the remote.

If it is enabled. But it won't be installed on a PowerBook G4. I will say that I have it on all my Macs, none of which came with a remote.

Leopard, however, will change this. It is part of Leopard and all Macs that have Leopard will have Front Row installed.

Does anyone know the link to get download an enabler so that I can have Front Row? Theres a site somewhere that has a how-to for setting up a Wii Remote as the Remote for Front Row using a bluetooth USB adapter.

EDIT: I found the link for it and it can be found here
How To Install Front Row using Enabler - AndrewEscobar.com

problem is I can not find where to download Front Row from the Apple website?

Apple - Support - Downloads - Front Row 1.3.1

A simple search on Apple's site found this in couple of seconds. However, you might have a problem with it since it's newer than the Enabler was designed to work with.

Here is what I did to make the new Front Row work :

•Installed Front Row 1.3.0 then enabled it with the 1.5 enabler.
•Restart
•Open Front Row 1.3.1 with Pacifist and install (replace when asked).
•Restart one last time.
•Done, enjoy your updated Front Row!

Here is FR 1.3.0 : FrontRowUpdate1.3.pkg.zip
