I read Doc’s and Dave Winer’s entries on Tivo, and this spurred the following thoughts:

I am a tech junkie. When I was a kid, I was messing with audio cassette recorders when they were new technology. I learned how to use patch cords and all kinds of adapters. I styudied the Radio Shack Catalog, and taped things. When Video Recorders came along, I had to have one. I had my own business about 10 years ago, hooking up VCRS to the cable system in Cincinnati , which made it hard for the average joe to use their VCR as intended to tape one show while watching another. I was one of the first people I knew to have a Surround Sound Processor in one’s own home.

Of all people, I am one who “should have a Tivo”. It seems like one of those things that WILL happen, as soon as things get back on the right track financially. I have a job interview coming up on the 16th. Whenever things back to enough normalcy that a Tivo is added to the tech portfolio, I will no doubt be one of its biggest evangelists. Especially now that my VHS VCR has died (they sure don’t make em like they used to — the VCR thatjust died I got about 3 years ago. The one it replaced I had for 15.
