[ale] MythTV Build-in report

[H P Ladds]

Thanks to all who attending the Build-In. Man! ALE is packed with a lot of
friendly characters.

The whole Build-In crew is much indebted to Chris -- without him the event
would have been directionless, internetless, and pretty-much -- well, um --
eventless :)

Emory University donated a great room and much equipment.

Yes, Keith I do have your umbrella. Would you send me some of the pictures?
HouseholdWords at gmail.com.

Anyone wishing to buy a pcHDTV, Inc. HD3000 -- a digital capture card? I
have several new cards are here in Atlanta. Shipping may not be necessary --
ALE meeting pick-up, etc. Price is $165.00 -- usually $169.98 + shipping.
