Chisato Moritaka bookmark? Noted.

Sharp eyes, Mr Afternoon. That is the upstairs "family" PC that gets the most use such as e mail, bill paying, QQ posting etc.
My downstairs "big" PC is little bit more revaling of Chisato Moritaka:

This PC is used almost exclusively for audio/video stuff. No MS Office or LibreOffice, no games, just A/V apps & of course my Firefox browser. Back up is Win Internet Explorer cuz we are talkin' Win 7 here.

Damn, that's a tidy looking desktop there SW; on mine you might be able to make out her lower leg and that'd be it. Gorgeous shot however

TotalMedia Theatre? ArcSoft? Now that's a name I haven't seen in a while!

I don't even have a wallpaper on my desktop... I should add one...not that I'd be able to see it because my entire desktop is filled to the brim with shortcuts and files!

Yeah back in the "dark ages" I used Win7 to record TV with, and a Hauppage 2012 unit (I think that's the number). The included software was some ArcSoft TMT stuff. Was sort of buggy but worked.

I've some friends who still use Win 7 & Hauppage! His wife understands how to watch stuff with it so he can't change it

Yeah I had a Hauppage tuner on the upstairs PC with XP at one time. And later an ATI All In Wonder card in the downstairs PC. They both had surprisingly good remotes & real nifty how the (analog) coax cable just plugged into them. I remember recording Prince's Super Bowl half time game on the ATI. It seemed so cool to do but I could never find where the file was saved. At any rate it's on YT if I ever want to watch it again.

 

[mandrix]

I paid for some kind of tuner software for getting stations worked with Windows 7. Quit working at some point not long after and I contacted the Developers and they said we don't work on it anymore. Took my money fast enough though!

So I'm back to 5.1.2 again with the older Onkyo. I had to pack up the newer one and ship off for repairs today. Major bummer, but I'm lucky like that.

 

[mandrix]

I meant to add, the good thing is we finally have a genuine UPS store here. Ground shipping 1 day to Clearwater to the authorized repair shop about $45. I was thinking it was going to cost me closer to a full bill.

What happened to the new Onkyo? Spark & smoke?

No video on the MAIN out. Some little niggling HDMI problems here and there. Hoping they just replace the HDMI board at minimum.

AVR out for delivery in Clearwater. Fingers crossed on quick turnaround.

I imagine you could put a list like that together for almost all dates. After all, R&R has been around for almost 75 years. A lot of shit has happened in that time. Still an interesting list though.

Finally, I had so many discs, sets, new releases, what ever we call them, laying all around.
They are now all ripped, all little issues fixed.
I had lofty thoughts that I was going to read all the literature, I just couldn't take it anymore.
I put all in my storage closet, out of site, out of mind.
Now I can go back to pure listening only, whew.

You've worked VERY hard! You are MUCH appreciated! Relax in the sweet spot and enjoy yourself! Stay Surrounded, Comrade!

I think Google is looking at my post history here or confusing me with @Sonik Wiz...as I open YouTube to grab a link to recommend a song to a friend and the first recommendation is a Chisato Moritaka song...which was completely unrelated to the Post-Hardcore Rock I was recommending!

True dat. Showed up in Tull news today.
In 1979, Jethro Tull singer Ian Anderson had his right eye torn by a thorn on a rose that an adoring fan threw onstage as the band was performing at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

@Sonik Wiz works in mysterious ways.
