Wow. 100 clams, and not even networkable. Wonder who they think their target audience is, since it would not be very convenient... Who is going to want to download their movie from Amazon or Netflix or Blockbuster, then transfer to USB, then plug it in and play...? Oh I know.... Take this over to your computer geeky friendly ripper, and have him rip a copy of a movie to your usb key, and then you can play. So, instead of having DVDs/Blu-Ray discs, VHS tapes, you just have a huge storage library of USB keys...... Or better yet, take your 1TB USB Hard Drive over to your friendly neighborhood computer geek, and have him hack all your movies onto the drive.... Then you have an On-demand jukebox.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
