Any Sirius/XM Radio users out there? How's it like (quality, prices, etc.)? I've been thinking about subscribing and getting an XM receiver when I have my own car.
Yes, I have XM on my car. It's a $12 monthly fee but it's worth it. They have LOTS of radio channels. You can tune into XM 71 Smooth Jazz the Weather Channel has its own XM station too. The quality is real good but can be hampered if you're in an area full of trees since it gets its signal from satellites.

So pretty soon I'll be surfing the web, tweeting, blogging, and watching A&B from my room instead of surfing the web on this comp here in this oven (aka, the garage).

I've got Sirius.. I have a tuner that is portable and attaches to the dash of my car, I love it. I usually listen to Sirius Chill, and Area, both of which are basically chill out stations with up/down tempo dance music. They have music for literally every interest.

Well, my desktop PC crapped out this morning. When I turn it on, it gets to the blue HP splash screen (before it even starts to load the operating system), and then a constant beeping starts. Won't get any further than that. :no:

Sounds like some sort of a hardware failure or issue of some sort, which wouldn't surprise me since this machine is over 5 years old.

Wow, I'm surprised they got to it; I made that tweet during PME time, and it never aired then, so I didn't think they'd ever air it. :o

Imminent Hardware Failure. Check with your owner's manual for more details :pinch:

Yep it is a hardware failure, it happened to me in October of last year my 4 year old modem died after the stupid automatic updates downloaded vista onto my already XP computer, the next day after the stupid update my computer  was stuck on the HP splash screen and constantly beeped plus the power light in back of the modem was blinking nonstop

Now i have a stupid 3GB Vista Home Premium based HP modem that is very quick booting up but pretty slow overall.

If you know how many beeps, and the duration of the beeps (short or long), you can type that into Google and it will tell you what the problem is.

And, of course, Sam Mohr looks like a yutz in that freeze frame.

SO glad she's off Weekend View.
