Many have asked why a geek like me would go with HD-DVD instead of Blu-ray.

So...now with Blu-Ray winning the studios over...I wait...for profile 2 players...

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.
