I agree also. So why do I like what Andy did? Especially for Frog?

I tried to find more information on this work that Andy did for Frog. The only thing I learned from Googling is that it was called "Frox" and was a precursor to something similar to the modern day TiVo. It was done in collaboration with Hartmut Esslinger, the principal behind Frog Design, and that's about all that I can find.

Do you have more information on this design, and in particular, how it differs from the Magic Cap?

Thanks,

Duncan.
