I promise, I will never confess to my wyfe that all the free time that should have gone into cleaning out the garage and instead have gone to configuring XLobby and "Oscar" (my media PC).
Second, Thanks to all who contribute here. Marbles, Jowaldo, BaddaBing, Colby, Rika, dgemily, and all the rest that I forgot to mention. You have no idea how many people are reading your posts. Take a peak at the unregietered users, or the new users that never post. Know that many, many more read what you say, than reply to it. Thanks from soemone who has learned much from you.
I lurked here for 10 months while I played with XLobby and slowly put together a HTPC. I knew what I wanted to do, and after I tried MCE, I knew that wasn't what I wanted. I found the term "HTPC" and then Google helped. I found a good dedicated HTPC board http://www.htpcnews.com/forums/index.php and then I found links to HTPC software. After I found XLobby, I was hooked. Much of what I needed to know, I found right here.
I figure in about 20 more hours of tinkering, I'll have everything configured just the way I want it. Nevermind, that I thought I was 8 hrs away two months ago! I am sure that I'm close! Someday soon, I'll post some details and pictures of my setup. I love that section! I was sooo excited when it was created. Then I saw BaddaBing's setup, and I was depressed for a week. Of course, BaddaBing's setup gives us a fantastic Home Theater example to shoot for!
Thanks!
