Ssh, stop tempting! ;)

Although the worst techy temptation I've had recently was the C$579 (reg C$949) 20.1" widescreen LCD deal from earlier this week. I didn't cave in.

The DiNovo desktop is still the front-runner for my next purchase since i can't get an OLED keyboard. They are absolutely lovely, and i can't wait to control my PC music with a remote. :D

Music on computer + remote = awesome

I was very happy to learn that my Remote Wonder (From the all-in-wonder video card on my PC) works on my Mac. I rarely use it (use the keyboard controls instead) but it's quite nice.

Actually, I need to get that PC permanently set up downstairs as a PVR, it's collecting dust now and shouldn't be. Figures, I built a PC last summer after using an ancient one for ages, then Apple came out with exactly what I wanted.
