		<description>WoW, well as a tech savvy I dont get too frustrated but I get the point... other ppl wil do have problems with that stuff.

Well we also know that is more common that children nowdays are more tech savvy than the previews generations, so lets hope in the future all those technical learning pay off. So they dont have those commun problems.</description>

		<description>Hi Lloyd,

I saw you today on Tekzilla (a show I have been meaning to watch more regularly, but all I had was one downloaded hi-def episode way back when Windows 7 came out.)  In any event regarding your post, here some clarification on the Dish/TiVo lawsuit-- it&#039;s over, see, e.g.:

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2008/10/out-of-options-dish-finally-pays-tivo-104-million-judgment.ars

BTW, your website text input box is very strange inasmuch as I am dictating directly into it using Windows 7/Firefox/Nuance Dragon Version 10 and it is inserting the text one letter at a time very fast instead of pasting it in multi-word segments with each utterance as it normally does. Naturally, I&#039;m curious, but do I have time to look into this? I&#039;m betting no.</description>

		<description>I always cringe when I have to use an “idiot-proof” wizard interface.  Sure it is nice to have in there but at least give the more tech-savy user an option to go “advanced.”

I agree with your assessment on how the CE world is not learning from the PC world when it comes to interface complexity.  It is nice to have all the options and features but most CE just don&#039;t do the interfaces right.  Everything seems to take too many “clicks” or just doesn&#039;t work quite right.

I don&#039;t see how most people would put so as much work into making this work.  But then again, for me anyways, that is part of the fun of tech as much as it gives me a headache.  I am glad you got everything up and running again.  It would have driven me bananas until it all worked.</description>
