ETA: if you ever try this? Have more RAM than I do. On a Pentium III/500 with 256mb Ram? Slooooooow.
Over here, it says you should expect CPU emulation to be 1/500th or 1/15th slower than the host.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Yep. And the several hours it has already taken to run Software update attests to that.
I was more commenting on the accomplishment, and lamenting the slowness.

Sue, have you upgraded to Firefox, or are you still in Navigator? (Re: crash issue).
Wolfram, it's at work that I have that issue, and we're not supposed to install new programs on our own. So, I just use IE for the sites I have to and Netscape for everything else.
I ahve no Gmail problems at home with Firefox.

Thinking of getting a Tivo, and wandering how long one of those last. Any stories people want to share about how long they last?

N of 1 here...but I've had mine since early August 2003. Works well for me so far. *knock wood*

I saw a TV ad saying that you can go to tivo.com, buy a $200 Tivo, and get a $100 mail in rebate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've had mine about two years. It was iffy out of the box, and I had it replaced after about three weeks.

That Tivo deal is fucking tempting. Damn you people.

If I only had a brain...
I've had mine two years and never a problem. Upgraded the hard drive about a year ago via Weaknees.

I've had mine for three or four years and have never had a problem. I think I've had to reboot it only a handful of times.
