Hmmmm...) She says she never feels alone when "he" is there with her. Of course, she also absolutely loves the little Microsoft animated paperclip helper thing. I guess she's a marketer's wet dream... LOL My girlfriend LOVES the little TiVo guy (and how exactly do we know it’s a GUY anyway??

Of course, she also absolutely loves the little Microsoft animated paperclip helper thing. I guess she’s a marketer’s wet dream… LOL

See, TiVo has cross-generational appeal :-) Regards, Doug Actually, she said the animated TiVo “guy” did indeed do a little dance on the TV :-) Probably what it does after a boot, but she got a kick out of it…

So I checked the software version just now, and it shows as 8.1.1.4. Seems much snappier in its overall responsiveness to remote commands and screen navigation. And it now offers WPA as a Network option (but only with TiVo USB dongles). I have been wanting to upgrade to a newer "range enhanced" 802.11G wireless router, but the models I have been looking at do not support WEP, only WPA. Now I can give this a try... My $0.02 :-) Doug When I got home from work tonight, my 8-year old daughter couldn’t wait to tell me that TiVo had done an update (and a little dance, but I digress…).
