No big deal.
An inexpensive M.B. will go in and I'll try my hand at soldering in
tantalum bypass caps in on the Emachines motherboard.

Either way in the end I'll wind up essentially with two machines
where before I had one and at around the price of $60 dollars total.

I may try that "geeks" computer hardware mail order source the one time
for a inexpensive motherboard.

The three brands I generally like are Intel, MSI and Biostar.
The last based purely on my local dealers preference for the boxes
he builds for his customers.

I do tend to rather lag behind you quite a bit but I get there...
eventually ;-)

I completely missed anything about that.
I don't actually do television.

Yeah I need to renew my weather satellite URL's as hurricanes are relavent 
down here.

I used to use those referenced from The Bermuda Weather Station
via the University of Wisconsin however they've _improved_ their satellite
imagry to the point I can't stand it.
Animated it, colorized it, ect.
Bleck.

Personally just give me the raw daylight and infr-red images
and let me draw my own conclusions from those.

Wet and cold is reminiscent of Massachussetts weather.

Down here is better all but for the high and oppressive 
summertime humidity.
