Entertainment and Technology

Well - it's been quite a while since my last update. We've been real busy with home theater installations and graduations of my daughter and friend's kids. Summer's coming and it's time to gear up for days at the lake and goin' fishin'.

One thing that remains constant is our love of home theater. The Indy 500 was spectacular on our big projection screen and digital surround sound. If you too would love to have such a system in your home you can find all the tips and pointers you need at Home Theater Systems -- my site where I help demystify the whole process from component selection to room layout and acoustics. Take a look at the site and let me know if you need any further assistance.

Till next time - Phil

Reports on early sales of the MS Zune media player are coming in at much less than MS had hoped for. Terms such as bulky and unattractive are being bantered about. Although very functional and full featured analysts are saying the Zune is a dud -- at least so far. Score another one for the Ipod...

According to the product's hype - Zune software supposedly can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings, as permitted by the online service from which it was purchased. That sounds fine as long as you like iTunes and Windows Media Player -- what if you can't stand either???

Zune is also supposedly able to morph and grow as technology progresses -- I guess we'll just have to wait and see how that works out for them won't we...

I also wonder how long the battery will last? Hopefully longer than the I-fraud's..
