Yeah, thats kinda what I found out.  I should sell off that POS (or give 
it away really).  I'd like to give it another go, there is lots of good 
stuff I'd like to record, but I still can't grasp the whole usage of a 
really obscure encoding codec that isn't easily playable outside of 
Myth or a patched up mplayer.  Has the author yet succumbed to the 
requests of a standard recording codec?

Geez, I'm more public than I thought.  I actually moved up to Redmond 
when I got a job with Microsoft (shamefull I know).  I was unemployed 
for 3~ months after working at AT&T Fixed Wireless in Redmond for about 
1.5 years and so I took any job I could find.  Landed a trained monkey 
job at Microsoft just before my wedding, so I wasn't a total bum.  I 
worked there for about 6 months before I got the job with Pogo.  It 
just worked out very well that Pogo moved to within 3 blocks of my 
apartment complex in Redmond shortly after I started working there 
(pre-planned, nothing to do with me)

Whooops, my bad. I have the calender applet on my gnome bar, just got 
too lazy to check.  I'll make better transport arrangements for next 
week.  This week my wife had a college fair to represent Digipen at.
