If I weren't married to the boss, I might very well still be using dial up and renting VCR tapes. I'll write up some "digital age 101" tips over the weekend. Thanks for the comments.

Really, I don't think that most folks truly understand the options that are available for integrating technology into their homes, especially in the realm of entertainment media. Just twelve years ago I received my TV signal via bent rabbit ears. I still haven't adjusted to the idea that my LP's are obsolete, and suddenly the CD's that are battling my cassette tapes for shelf space are members of the dinosaur culture. Now TVs and Blue Ray players are streaming video over the internet, computers are being linked to home entertainment systems, and folks are left scratching their heads wondering where you plug the wires in. There ought to be a thoughtful, easy to read consumer guide to inform the less savvy among us who yearn for integrated entertainment systems but struggle to know where to begin. And all those wires, please! Sounds like magic to us less evolved humans.
