Netgear MP101 is it painkiller netgear?
This digital music player can hold it's own with my Yamaha RX-V4600...but it has a mind of it's own...it works when it wants to... that's right...this little thing can test the patience of any geek...pain...pain...and more pain...but heck...it's been stable on my home network ever since I got a D-Link DSM-G600 rev B network storage server (NAS)...keeping my fingers crossed...definately looking for a replacement...if you find one of these...my advice...run the other way!

Sony DHG-HDD500 HD DVR the dawn of cablecard!
This sony hd dvr replaced my time warner cable 8300HD DVR. It was the first time I was introduced to cablecards. I purchased two taking advantage of the closeout special at circuit city for $250 from $1000. It has performed flawlessly and dropped my cable bill by $18 because time warner charges $7.85 for the dvr and remote plus $9.95 for the priveliged of recording.
Another device with HDMI output...I foresee an hdmi switch in my future...

I sit here at my desktop computer, two to four internet windows plus Outlook open, my iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and iPod on my desk, PC laptop, MacBook Pro and TiVO within reach. Clutter? Not for me.
This is my world, one dependent on, and dominated by, technology. I've always been immersed in gadgets, but never the first to have something. I tend to follow a month or two behind, when prices drop, which makes my wife happy and keeps my kids up on the latest technology.
