Annoying copy protection

I'm trying to listen to the Star Spangles and Motor Ace too, but they both want to do things to my computer, so I miss out. And they miss out on the review.

RE: Got me a new computer

Hauppage do a nice (tiny) TV to USB mpeg converter thingy, IIRC it might be compatible with dig TV.

Woo, new computer is on the way

I never do anything interesting with my 10-15 minutes of free computer time

Lawks, after looking at Twitter, and then writing that subject line, that's it GONE again for the day.
Clare is BACK from Harry's bedtime feed so it's time to watch quizzes.
