[Cialug] OT: Tivo

[Tim Wilson]

Ya know, with all this talk about Tivo, maybe that would be a good topic for
a meeting.  How does that sound to everyone?  I'd be willing to give a demo,
and even bring in my standalone Series 1 for people to look at.

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, my laptop did die (it appears to be the
video "card").  I think I can boot it long enough to pull the meeting notes
off, so I'm going to try to do that tomorrow night.
