WOOT!!!

woo hoo! free drobo!

Awesome prize pack! My favorite was the new Kuro plasmas Pioneer was showing.

Is it D40, or WD-40?

I initially thought it WAS that other Food Network Star when I first saw the ads.

I hope you have a great time and meal. The Craft inside the W Hotel Dallas was incredible when it opened in 2006. However, it wasn't as impressive during a visit this last spring. Don't get me wrong, it's still very good eats. Enjoy!

That's funny you mention that. I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

I wonder if I'm alone in wishing Martha's old shows were still showing on Food Network? I loved them and wish they were available for dvd purchase. I haven't been able to get into her new show but really liked the older format.

I miss MacUser.

If they ever do offer a subscription based plan I hope they model it after something like the music clubs such as BMG, Columbia House, etc.

I envision you can play anything from the online library with your monthly subscription with the caveat that you couldn't burn the files to disc. But along with that you'd also be able to 'buy' a certain number of songs/albums per month based on the monthly rate you've chosen. Say for $12.95 a month you get all the music you want to listen to as well as 1 album or 12 songs purchased for continued use if you stopped your subscription. There would be a tiered pricing structure of something like:

$12.95/month/12 songs yours to keep
$19.95/month/24 songs...
$24.95/month/30 song...

I think I'd go for that especially if, like a cellular plan, you could carry over monthly songs like roll-over minutes.

Anyway. It'll never happen, I guess.

The picture of the remote really looks a lot like Rosie the robot from the Jetsons.
