I don't have have DVR or TiVo because I don't have the time to deal with these things. I have the expensive habit of purchasing DVDs every week and this includes box sets of TV shows. I'm currently watching season six of "The Waltons".

- I've slowed down after getting trophies two weeks in a row. I guess I'm sort of burned out this week. Good to see you too, Cyndimh.:)

I have something called Sky+. (here in the UK) it's just like a DVR and TiVo. I don't think I could ever record things via tape or disc again. It's so convinient. And great pressin one button to record a whole series. This is where my DVD recorder comes in. I then transfer my recorings on to dick and I have my very own DVD collection. And again all with the press of a couple of buttons. I couldn't live without it.

- You 'transfer your recordings onto dick" that's impressive :p

Two TiVos. Both connected via wireless to a server. So we can listen to all of the CDs we ripped down to MP3s, scroll through all of our digital pics, and watch what we want and bypass commercials. Love it. But I could live without it. But for me, if I have technology, I am going to maximize the use, or walk away from it.

- You sound like my hubby, he tells me all the time that I don't 'deserve' all these gadgets we have because I don't use them properly lol :)

- My wife knows how to use it, and has come to expect "always on" availability of the gadgets and tech stuff we have. I'm her home tech support. "Honey, the internet connection is down, I've checked the cables and rebooted the router and firewall" is something I hear on occasion. She will go to the Tivo and say "I think the server is down, I can't get to the music", and I will go to the basement, and the main server's power supply will be dead, or in the middle of a reboot. She's on the geek bandwagon.

- You can type on a computer, you already ahead of most people. Think of a computer as Legos. Clicking parts together, then turning on the power. That's how I explained it to her years ago when we were dating. She now builds her own computers. She's actually called me at work asking me to pick up a new video card that is optimized for some game (She is a 40ish year old teenager, meaning she will never grow up and I love that about her), she is a big gamer.

- Next time you need a computer, build one yourself. They are not the mystery scary boxes most people make them out to be. There is only one moving part (hard drive). It's easy! I've literally built thousands. If you have any questions, you know were to ping me (here). The best way to think about it, is that they are like building legos, everything clicks together, once you get past that, and it gets past BIOS check, you just load an OS.

I had a DVR during undergrad (scholarship money at work) and it was awesome. It is SO DAMN DIFFICULT to get used to not having one now, so I resort to streaming any TV shows that I have time to watch from the internet.

- I'm addicted to mine! Working evenings I don't how I could go without it :)
