• Alexander has a question about Media Center stuff.
  • A couple of options: Windows MC, TV, TV with Boxee, Mac with Boxee/FrontRow, XBox 360, MythTV
  • Current choice: Wait.  Honestly.  Boxee is improving and Windows 7 promises to be better than Vista, everything else is limited so I’d say just chill and not make a huge leap just yet.  If you must, prob TV with Boxee is the cheapest tide you over choice, but no Netflix support etc. 
• Which leads me to my RANT
  • ZOMGWTFBBQ, WHAT HAPPENED TO DVRs while I was using Windows MC?  They CHARGE for it?  La-ay-ame!
