Sure why not Tom as long as you can keep up

[W&B]

My Dad could play pretty good and tried to teach me but I could never pick it up, always wanted to though. Since air guitar counts like Maineman asked then I'm in, when's rehearsal

[Bob]

I'm going to be playing "Riding the storm out" when these storms hit here lol

dunno if they are headed your way or not in TN.

Pukey the Pumpkin, very nice.

It would have been even funnier if the pumpkin was puking zucchini seeds.

Thought I would change it up
So I was thinking about buying one of those Western Digital Media Players. Anybody have any good or bad experiences with them? Seems pretty cool to be able to rip a Blu-ray to a supported format to a external HD and just plug it in. I would really prefer a stand alone Blu-ray player that would do the same thing. For all I know most may already but seems all I can find says the usb port is for photos in jpeg format but must admit I haven't done to much research so far. Any suggestions?

[Bob]

Not me. Only thing blue i have here is blue LED's

Sorry, I am not quite sold on the value of BR, so I am not in any rush to experiment with it, sorry.

I've got the same feelings about BR too but I have some comments on the WDTV thingy. Reports here in OZ suggest that you can have problems streaming HD content from external USB drives dependent upon the chipset used by the HD enclosure.

I far prefer the players that I import into OZ which hold the HDD internally but currently they do not play BR. What they do though is play H263 AVI's perfectly and with a 1Tb drive fitted internally, I've got a readily accessible library of around 1000 movies.

There are stacks on the eBay US site for around $100. Just use "Hard Disk Media Player" as your search criterea.

Glad I am not the only one. Now that is something that is worth looking into. Thanks for the heads up and that's an interesting concept you are playing with, let me know if you get it working successfully and what obstacles you hit along the way and how you overcame them, it will be beneficial to many I am sure.
