[ale] MythTV Build-in report

[Jay Finch]

Thanks from another attendee - The Build-in was a lot of fun, and I 
learned a great deal about putting together my own MythTV box.  It was 
great to finally meet some of my fellow ALErs after lurking on this list 
for the better part of 8+ years. :)

I look forward to seeing y'all again soon, and thanks again to Preston 
for getting the Build-in organized! (And to Chris, and all the Emory 
folks ... And every whose name I'm forgetting.  :-) )

Cheers!
Jay
