$200 to transfer a lifetime sub is ridiculous -- that's more than I paid to buy it in the first place!

It's about what I paid, and since they don't have them anymore...but it's the hardware cost that gets up my nose.

I only paid $99 for my lifetime sub, but that was yonks ago and it's already on the second Tivo I've owned. I started with an early Series 1 and got the transfer to my Series 2. I figure 7+ years on the sub is pretty good. At $200 I really just need to hit the two year mark before it starts paying for itself again.

Time Warner has backed off its claim that it won't support the TiVo.

Cool. I figure if Time Warner will work with TiVo somebody will figure out how to get it to work with Myth at some point.

I wonder if we can transfer a series 1 lifetime sub to the series 3. The arstechnica article is unclear.

I should have followed the links a little further. Looks like Series 1 boxes do qualify: [link]

This may be tempting.

This looks purty.

I've never been tempted by a Blackberry for myself before--perhaps because I have a love-hate relationship with my work device.

I'd like to put some of the music that my mother's chorus has recorded onto their website. However, I have no idea what the copyright issues are, or what might constitute fair use. They did pay royalties to record it -- does anyone know what the guidlines are for posting on a site? Or even where I could begin to look online?

Anyone use LightScribe technology? I needed a new DVD burner, and the one that came recommended and that fit my desktop had LightScribe. Haven't installed it yet. I wonder if the Scribed DVDs have any reliability issues.

This is a question for those of you who have been flying since the latest upgrade in security. Any big problems with electronic equipment on domestic flights? I'm heading out to Indiana on Sunday to run a training class and I travel with two laptop, hard drives, electronic tools, etc. I've been fine up to this poing, just making sure there are no new gotchas I should know about.
