[NCLUG] Format Wars Over

[Brian Wood]

In case some folks have missed it, the (HDTV disk) format wars are over, 
Toshiba has surrendered.

HD-DVD boxes are being blown out for $99 or less, packages usually 
including 7 or more titles (which may well be the only titles you can 
ever watch on the box).

Some of the MythTV folks are trying to get the specs on the machines, 
which have MIPS CPUs and decent graphics chips. They might make good 
Myth frontends even without a useful optical drive. I would not give 
them much of a chance of getting that info though.

Makes those PS3 boxes with the BR drives look better and better, 
especially as they will run Linux.
