Bought the last two seasons of House on DVD from Amazon.

Is the Amazon streaming service available over there?

Yes, I think so. Haven't tried it, though.

I think it works pretty well.  I have completely given up my addiction to physical media and make all my purchases on the Amazon cloud now.

I like physical media. It gives me a sense of ownership that cloud services can't match.

What kind of resolution are you getting?

Sounds like enough CPU power to me.

Thanks.

Might be a moot point as it doesn't have an optical drive.

If you have a DVD drive on some other machine, you can use that.

Excellent link.  Thanks.   I would  :plus: you but am in a time out for the next hour.  :thumbup:

  Do you have to sit quietly in the time out chair?  :zoinks:

We call it the "thinking chair" here. :)

It depends on bandwidth available, which fluctuates sometimes, but usually 1080

I bought my nephew a Lego Star Wars tie fighter. If he doesn't like it, I will have it.

A bottle of vodka, some 4-methoxy-PCP, and some more blue hair dye (not sure how much I'll need with the length of my hair as it is).

Although uggh...I was looking for a permanent dye, this one will need re-doing after about 8 weeks or so, so I bought two.

An odd assortment of things at a tag sale this morning
A Columbia cylinder record
A some sort of holder or ashtray made out of a deer's foot
A very old Snap-On 1/4 ratchet
A flashlight from the 1930's
All for $8
