Yes.. my favorite "Little Buddy" which is what they call it.
So I had a few blog posts to do today, and I started to wonder if all those successful bloggers out there always use their default WordPress writer to write all their blog articles. It has come to me that they most definitely don’t.
As I write this from Microsoft Word 2007, I have come to realize that it’s highly possible I will never use the WYSIWYG editor online anymore for originally writing articles. I don’t do anything too crazy when I write them – just basically text and a few pictures.. so it’s really nice that I don’t have to log in and use their slow editor when I want to write something.
On another note, I posted a comment on my post about Bell in which I wondered if they were going to give a customer (me) a deal on new hardware seeing that mine broke. I had previously a very high-end HDTV PVR and I was hoping to have the newest model which allowed for remote scheduling of recordings.
Anyhow, long story short.. they DID in fact give me a deal! Woot Woot! And I got it at a good sale price as well. They gave me $100 off the cost of $499, as well as 2 months free.. which works out to be $57 x 2 = $114. A total of $214 off which is better than the ‘new customer’ price of $299 for the same PVR.
Happy customer I am.. and another great feature of this PVR is that you can plugin an external drive and extend the amount of storage it has – not that I’m going to purchase another hard drive – but great to know you have that option. It would be a truly EXCELLENT PVR if I could just throw movies or something onto a Kingston 8GB DataTraveler thumb drive which you can get as cheap as $17.99 at buy.com and simply put that in the DVR when you want to watch something. I don’t need to do that since I have the XBMC.. but still, great option to have.
Ok.. going to post this.. the first post I’ve ever created directly from Microsoft Word 2007 (oh, and if you wanted to learn how to do this, I found out here).
