tv in bed…

I know that I thought I was done with the PC project, but it seems to be some neverending mission that I have embarked upon.

The latest addition to the PC? A tv tuner card so that I can watch all those fabulous BBC shows from the comfort of my bed. Another cool thing that I can do is record said shows for all my little Estonian friends that don’t get these great British shows. Or for my own viewing pleasure…

The only issue that I have now with my uber multi-media pc is that it is completely the most uncomfortable thing to watch from my bed. It hurts my neck! Damn it – a flaw in the plan.
