[Cialug] OT: Tivo

[Josh More]

The Multimedia night is currently scheduled for April.

We could swap the meeting around, but I was sort of looking forward to
talking about social media at the next meeting.  We can't move the
Graphics meeting in August, because we need to prep for SFD.  We could,
however, swap Multimedia with Office, and do it in September.  In fact,
if we attract people with SFD, that might make sense, as Multimedia
might be a more interesting-to-the-newbie topic than Office.

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.
