What is that, USB memory stick with all these doo-dads on it? Doesn't have that bad a memory capac. on it though, but.. you can buy better for cheaper, I think. A plain swiss army knife and a USB memory stick that holds more memory than that is more bang for your buck, I think.
Right, techie stuff I want? Uhh...

Leo Laporte droned on for what seemed like hours about how great these hard drives are. Good Lordy how I want one.
And I agree, Jenn, I wants an iPod as well, and a tablet. Having a tablet would save having to scan everything that I draw for stuff.

Hell, I'd do anything for a computer with A/V jacks in them, maybe S-Vid if I really want it... lol Video capturing would be a lot easier, and I could rip images / FMVs off of my PS2 and other consoles...

Chefelf, what makes you want replaytv instead of a TiVo?
Correct me if I'm wrong but Replay TV seems like it's a little more hackable and it seems to me be better for what I'm looking to do. What I mainly want to do is record TV (obviously) and then shuttle those videos to my PC and burn DVDs of certain things. If you have any reasons you think I should consider TiVo instead I'd love to hear them.
I'm not as psyched about the iPod as everyone else on this planet seems to be. I'd love to have one if I got it as a gift or something, just not tops on my list of gadgets I want.

Well for what you want maybe replay is better then. I've just never been a fan of it and ever since TiVo came out they have been a much more innovative company and I just feel replay is going the way of the dinosaurs. Anyway, to make sure you have all the knowledge you need to make the right decision I'd read this comparison: http://www.pvrcompar...eplayindex.html
TiVo won a vast majority of the categories however the summary may be exactly what you want out of replay, the ability to manipulate your recordings, which Tivo does lack on a bit.
I also like tivo cause i have directv and getting the directivo's is great. If I happened to be you on the day you were buying this stuff and you have two TV's, I would get 2 TiVo's both with HMO, one a standalone series 2 and the other a Pioneer TiVo from http://www.pioneerburner.com/ in order to burn directly to dvd what i recorded.

Oo, new forum! :-D
I am looking into getting an mp3 player, as my portable cd player has long ago died and mp3 players are far less space consuming, and as I would imagine, less likely to break. (less parts that spin.) Probably not an iPod though, as they are in the pricier range of mp3 players, and I do have the tendency to break things (as is evident from the example of the portable cd player.)
Also sometime in the (probably distant) future I would like to obtain a tablet for drawing things, a laptop computer and a digital video camera.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

I'll be buying a used laptop later this summer, but it's not going to be a particularly hi-tech system. Roughly the same specs as my home PC...only little.
Anyway, as far as the iPod goes, I'm not really "psyched" about it per se, I just think they're sort of neat. I know full well that I'll probably never own one (unless I suddenly and inexplicably become irregularly wealthy within the next little bit), but if I was given $500 and my choice of one tech item to spend it on...well...that'd probably end up being it.
