However, that is not the reason for my post back to you. I would like you to know how much I appreciate you, respect you and love you as a wonderful husband to my daughter, father to my grandchildren and a fantastic son in law. All too often we don't take time to tell each other how important we are. I am taking a moment to tell you how important you are to our family. I love you Jeremy, Thanks......

I am still considering porting it over to Win Mobile, though I have no current plans or timeline on when I may get to it. I have a lot of irons in my fire right now, hence the absence of regular posts on my blog the last couple of months. If you're willing to help beta test that will be most helpful should I get going on that project. Is that something you'd be interested in doing? Have a great day! Jeremy Thanks for checking in!

I have been using EatWatch on PalmOS and am getting ready to switch to Windows Mobile. If you decide to build a WinMo version, can you please notify me? As much as I am a fan of cloud computing, for some reason I'd prefer to keep EW on the device. And yes, kudos and thanks to John Walker! Kind regards, Jack Greetings from Durham NC!

Actually we just upgraded our service to a greater package to get the Fox Business channel (and Science Channel, among others) and went ahead and agreed to another 2 year contract to get a $10 monthly savings for the next 12 months. One of the biggest drawbacks to DirecTV is they don't have a dual-tuner dual-output DVR, which is a must for us. Maybe in 2 years they'll have some better options and we'll re-evaluate who we're with. Since the network feeds DirecTV and Dish get are the same, the letterboxing should be the same. Many of the shows I watch are letterboxed and have been for some time. I'm so used to letterboxing I tend to notice things more when they are not rather than when they are. As for the locals, I believe they use an analog receiver here and uplink it rather than a direct feed from the TV station so that could be the case. That will have to change as the digital transition takes place though. Thanks for stopping by! Jeremy Hey Mike!

There's a noticeable difference in image quality, for the better. We have a 32" CRT. Directv even letterboxes some shows and network broadcasts so you get the complete picture. We're having some issues with the network stations cutting out periodically (sound), but expect that to be solved soon. Hey, Jeremy,

No one will argue that both are good for you, they have to be loaded with antioxidants, fruits and herbs, but which one is better? Which one is cheaper and which one makes a bigger difference in your health? Ok, so your wife is taking Jus, how has her experience been compared to yours?

I like it I just get bored really easy but I get board doing anything for more then 10-15 min. I wish I could find something that I would enjoy for longer. Even with swimming I get board after about a 500 (20 laps) Sometimes I can work it to be an 800 but thats about it. Forget running! I reall hate running. Anyway I need to knock off 20lbs to be a "heathly" weight but I would like to loose 30.. LOL what a joke! Anyway glad you are happy with your buy I am glad that you like WII Fit.
