I heard from them, the day after I sent the last message.  I guess they want
me to come by the office and hash it out in person.  Fun!

As for Tivo, I don't watch much TV, because there is nothing on.  If there
was something on, I'd watch it, and get lazy(-er) and fat(-er) and it would
just not be pretty...
I have to kind of wonder what Microsoft is cooking up with their UltimateTV,
though.  It sounds a little something like this: "Hmmm... that Tivo thing is
a
pretty good idea!  We like good ideas!  Lets see if we can make it our own
and make it sell better!"

<sarcasm>Cuz that's an original Microsoft storyline... </sarcasm>
