Hi Cheryl, Thanks for that info. I wasn't aware of the hardware specific thing. I'm glad you told me. I am only interested in the Media Edition of it's ability to give me tv on my computer. I don't have a use for all the other media features. I don't hear much good about Vista so I'm pretty much convinced to stick with XP. ÷÷÷ ÷÷÷ ÷÷÷÷÷ ÷÷÷ ÷÷÷÷ Deb Designer @ Digital Mouse Designs com ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
