RE: [backstage] HD-DVD / Blu Ray
Actually one of those 8 title hits when you do a search is HD-DVD (Planet Earth appears twice). The BBC have been pretty good on making sure both formats are supported equally with the extremely limited releases they've made to date. There was one title in the original batch of releases (The Tudors Season One) that was Blu-Ray only but that's because it was actually put out by Sony and not the Beeb. Sony were obviously never going to put out a title on the rival HD-DVD format. Now that the last two HD-DVD exclusive hold-outs (Universal and Paramount) have announced they're moving to Blu-Ray I think there's litte doubt that the Beeb will do the same when their next batch of titles are announced.

RE: [backstage] HD-DVD / Blu Ray
Yup. Presumably, in this ridiculous Must buy into the latest hype even if the technology really isn't up to the job and it's totally impractical world we live in people will happily wait several hours after deciding they want to watch a movie for their movie to download instead of just inserting that pre-2K bit of plastic that starts up immediately. Michael Bay famously declared that HD-DVD was introduced by Microsoft as a deliberate spoiler to Blu-Ray to ensure failure of that format and eventual success of the download high def format they were really after. Clearly the ravings of a lunatic who hasn't enjoyed the picture quality of a broadcast on a stuttering iPlayer on an 8MB broadband connection!

RE: [backstage] What is web 1, 2, and 3?
Yes I know I can turn it off. Give me SOME credit. But there are people who I DO want to acknowledge emails from (not everything's spam!) because my email can be flakey. And no, I don't want to automate acknowledgements because then spammers get to know the email address they tried is real. Admittedly this is a weakness of Outlook in that it's all or nothing, but I just think it's bad manners to have this feature turned on when using a distribution list. I've never come across it before and I'm on a LOT of distribution lists. No matter. I can always unsubscribe if it's too problematic.
