Dennis,

  I run a MythTV server, and use the XBOX 360 to display the  
recordings.  I don't have HD shows playing back on the 360 yet, I  
would love to know if anyone has that working.  Given advance notice I  
could probably do a demo.

VirtualBox I have used heavily, along with Zen.  I highly recommend  
using VirtualBox for normal usage, much lower barrier to entry.

I think that CharLUG needs to stay a LUG with Pros in it.  The average  
user is just not interested in discussions of the best methods of  
deploying 300 jobs over Condor, etc.  However, I have had some  
wonderful conversations with professionals in the LUG, and met a few  
outside of normal meetings.

Thanks,
Mark
