AVerMedia is what the remote control says for the card on my daughter's computer. It is supposed to let her link directly from the cable (dish, actually) for watching tv on her computer or recording programs, and for listening to or recording radio (it also has FM and AM receiver in it). The documentation is around somewhere. We don't use the remote, it just sits in it's original wrapper on the computer desk in there.

This is installed in one of the expansion slots of the back of the computer (which is to the wall right now so I didn't pull it out to count the various plugs on it). It is set for various sorts of plugs to connect to it. It even has an FM radio antenna.

Regarding Lynix

I love the concept, I embrace the development....If I was more of a believer I would invest in RedHat.

However,

CROSSPLATFORMS

Will an MS Word or OE configured download perform without the installation of Windows on the recieving machine?

If I upload a photo and text from Lynix....will the file received be able to read it with ANY version of Windoze or OE?

Are there cross-platforms difficulties with Apple?

Sincerely, Gargoryl

I will be so glad to get rid of this sinus infection. It makes proof reading so much easier when your brain isn't fuzzy. . .

Seems to me that going to Windows is a mistake for Apple, makes it vulnerable to all of the crud every other Windows user is vulnerable to. Is this change meant to make them cheaper or to improve market share? I exchange photos and data with Mac folks fairly often. Sometimes I can open their files, sometimes I can't. They always seem to be able to open mine, as long as I save text as RTF, and keep the photos to jpg, tif, or png.
