What is it? Home Theater PC. Quoting Wikipedia - "A Home Theater PC (HTPC) or Media Center computer is a convergence device that combines some or all the capabilities of a personal computer with a software application that supports video, photo, audio playback, and sometimes video recording functionality." The HTPC just might be the device to cause you to disconnect cable TV - well, maybe.
Next week Dave Peterson will demonstrate his HTPC - The Roku. I don't know which model he has, so the extent of it's capabilities will only be revealed next week. I've ordered a Pivos Xios (http://www.pivosgroup.com/xios.html) that should arrive by then, but I may not be in a position to demonstrate it.
So, if we can get good wifi in the Prickly Pear Room, we should have a lively discussion. See you there.
