The 642 does indeed play DivX.
How does that work? Does the CD need to be in a specific format, a la VCDs?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Doesn't look so, Jon. From the user manual:
- Load an MP3/DivX/MPEG-4/JPEG disc. The DATA CD MENU appears on the TV screen.
- Use ^ v to select a folder. Press OK to open the folder.
- Press ^ v or use the numeric keypad (0-9) to highlight an option.
- Press OK to confirm. Playback will start at the selected file and continue to the end of the folder.

Thanks. I may try to track down that Phillips one tonight.

I had the 642 appear in my Amazon Gold Box the other night, so it might be worth clicking through to see if it appears. I don't know how they rotate those items in and out of the selection, though.
I have an older model, the Philips 727, and it works similarly with the exception of no DivX playback. I love how it reads stuff in file folder format so you don't need to burn stuff to CD in VCD or other formats. Just stick the raw file on a disc and there you go.
BTW, Beverly, you can definitely hack the Cyberhome 300 with a few presses of the remote. It's one of the cheaper and readily available hackable players out there. VideoHelp.com has info.

I was just going to say, I've been looking everywhere for my gold box.

I know there's a joke in there somewhere.

Hey. New board.
It will take a better man than me to search it out.
I definitely still have a gold box. It's a tiny little box icon next to the "Sign Out" thing at the top.

Mostly lurking...
I have a supid question. The person that creates new e-mail ids at my new job has been out, so I'm using the old person's e-mail till they can get my id created.
But, I thought I'd be all smart and change the name, so it still says it's coming from me. Where do you do that in Outlook? I can't find it, and it's making me crazy.

On mine, it is: Tools ==> Services
Then I select, Internet Email and Properties.
