I have been up all night long. You see, I like to visit woot on days I can remember to. The other day I ordered a Pinnacle PCTV pro usb, not bothering to pay attention to whether or not it would work on my trusty dusty macintosh. Not even five minutes after I had paid for it, I thought to check and realized that no, this damn thing is for Windows only. I was just too excited about it though to try and cancel my order and get my money back. I wanted it anyway because holy crap, that’s just so cool. I want it.

It came in the mail recently and I am bound and determined to get it to work on my computer so that I can watch tv and record things, and oh my goodness. So far, 4:30 am, I’ve managed to get Windows XP Pro installed and running on my mac. I’m pretty impressed with myself, I’ll admit. I’m trying to get service pack 2 installed because the tv hub thing requires it. I’m just very, very worried that at some point in all this I’ll get some wacky error informing me that I have wasted an entire night of sleep to do absolutely nothing. And that no, Kelley, the damn thing WON’T WORK ON A MAC!
