My computer getting better everyday.
"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely light and wires in a box."
-- Television Journalist Edward R. Murrow in TV Guide, December, 1958

Finally got the damn TV tuner card to work. Now I got everything going except NAV and that is no problem because I am running AVG. Who needs Norton anywho? It was a wonderful challenge to get the tuner card going. I finally had to go on the Microsoft site and get direct-X 9.0 because I could not download direct-X 8.0 for some reason......this was BEFORE I could download the tuner card. Now all I need is to run the cable...lets see though the floor...just there or maybe through the heating duct just there or maybe I could take Catherine's advise and run it up my A**. Harrrrumph, I don't think women appreciate the finer points of technology. SURE, I know that we already have 4 TVS in the house but just imagine the ingenuity it took to get TV on the computer...Man has come a long way...uggg..uggg...uggg.
Well since the cool weather is improving tomorrow we are finally heading out to the lake. Hey There is a TV out there too! Now just got to hook that up....let's see if I run a cable to the lake from the basement...say 150 KMS should do it...better get to work....I loves retirement!
Remember...... Keep on blogging ......Oh and keep watching educational TV
