Mark has done a wonderful thing. With a kind donation from the Kris&Ami branch of the family, Mark set up an Xbox to stream video from our computer to the TV. Not only did he do that, he set up a second computer in the living room. This brings our network up to three computers (connected by a cable that runs under the house), two video game systems (Nintendo 64 and Xbox 360), all hooked up to our old TV with another cable that runs under the house. The kids can't tell the difference in quality between the streaming video and shoving a tape in the VCR, but we can. The tapes and DVDs are no longer piled up on top of the entertainment center! Well, they won't be once we are finished cleaning up...
The bad thing about this set up is only temporary: Mark has completely taken over my new computer. He is obsessively ripping all our DVDs (quick! before it gets scratched!) and no one is allowed to use the computer when it is ripping. That means no pictures. So stay tuned and hopefully I will have something interesting to share by the end of the week...
