Draw a parallel to my DVR. I really love my DVR. I can't imagine watching TV any other way. My DVR works fine -- probably has years of life in it. I have a lifetime subscription to the programming service. Yet my DVR only knows the NTSC standard and NTSC is going away in 14 months. So I am unhappy about progress too. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
