"Chuck" is geek-tastic!

Oh yeah, I'm watching it on a stock Q1 playing smooth as silk. Thanks for the tip Kevin!

Let's see... If this runs 15 episodes it will cost about $24USD to subscribe... Unless Amazon has hidden some self-destruct DRM in this I'd say they'll get my money. Only time will tell.

Typical problem. I happen to be outside the US right now. Although my Amazon account is US-based (CC, address, etc.), I can't actually download using a "foreign" IP address (I can buy, of course, I just can't "get" what I bought).

This really sucks for those of us who travel internationally. I want to keep up with the shows when I'm on the road -- not just when I'm on the couch. The Internet *should* be the perfect solution, but they won't let it work that way.

Oh well, maybe I'll find another *convenient* solution...

I just watched Bionic woman. La Femme Nikita meets Jake 2.0. The video transfered from my computer to my Archos704wifi and played without a problem. If it's free it's for me!

They all pretty much suck. Chuck has the original OQO in it though.

Don't freak out, Kevin. (He'll get it, after watching.)

Get Journeyman too.

Bionic Woman is what I got. Katee Sackhoff(sp) who plays Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica is supposed to be on it. This is cool as I can see the pilot before it starts later this month.
