Tangentially, you have hit on a problem with DVR's, I think. They are largely personal devices, or okay, they work for 2 people. But get into a larger group and others may not want to pause and replay a section you want. (Of course there are those occasions where everyone wants to replay something <g>.) Someone definitely needs to invent a Tivo for one's entire life. You can carry a voice-recorder or camcorder around, but life just doesn't seem to want to pause while you rewind one.

>>The "TiVo moment" for me is when I'm driving and listening to the radio, and I miss something that someone says... I always want to rewind and play it again.<< John - Yes! That happens to me all the time. I find it slightly odd that car audio manufacturers haven't caught on to the potential value of that feature. BTW, I've been staying with relatives for the past few weeks. They have no TiVo, and it's just wierd to me. We'll be out for dinner and my uncle will look at his watch and say, "We have to get the check. Boston Legal is on in five minutes." Then we rush out of there. Not to mention what a drag it is when somebody says, "What did he say?" while we're watching something, and we can't just go back and find out. And don't even get me started on how frustrating it is to have to watch the same commercial five times in a half hour. - Allen
