Having completed the migration back to Windows from Mac, I should mention that it wasn't very difficult. (TRS 80, IBM DOS, OS/2, Windows 95, Mac OSX, and now Vista. One would have to be pretty green to start before sp1.) I've, for now, replaced HOMM 3 with the Doom collector's edition. TV is fine, but cable isn't cooperating (e.g., cable's digital channel 94.6 is really broadcast signal 106) so I have to live with analog channels, about 80 for now. With all this memory, I'm recording everything that I used to sleep through as recording to memory is much simpler than using a VCR. When they get the bugs out of blu-ray video formatting, I won't have any complaints. Performance is good, Norton isn't, Media center is good, global find (use start search as a command line) isn't, etc, but nobody asked me.

You are recording TV programing on your Vista computer?
