I still wish SageTv was in business. My SageTv stuff is still running fine, but I don't know what I'm going to do when it dies. I guess I'll have to go back to Mytv and the associated huge, loud, noisy front-end boxes. That said, I'm still pretty happy with Gmail (I use it mostly via mutt/IMAP rather than the WebUI), and it sure beats the e-mail service I paid for in the past [it's certainly _way_ better than the Outlook server they run at work]. The Google search engine still works fine for me, and my Nexus Galaxy phone has been great. -- Grant
