OK I think I had this thing long enough to say it is alright - not perfect but alright.
I am bothered by a few things, like I can't just scroll around without changing the channel or the d*mn commercial names pop up when they air - I don't care about Go To mY pC and want to know what is on the program. Does anyone really buy things from these commercials, like how much gold do you have so far?
One thing I was rather amused by was the criticisms of Nemo and that Bozo guy on 171 at the truck stop I was at, they were not nice to these guys for pushing things like Turbo3000d or some other things. The turbo thing was the focus of a heated discussion the last place I was at in the restaurant and how it don't work and how they are stuck with them because it takes longer than 30 days to find out if you really saved anything and you can't return it after 30 days. I would have had two of them for $50 each if I had the cash. Well the one thing I enjoyed was this guy Kevin on XM program, he made a lot of sense but again his site pushed the usual stuff like everyone else. I am still trying to figure out what he was talking about a direct drive trans is better than an OD trans, oh well I will have to dig for the answer.
As for music, when I was sick I got stuck listening to French Canadian Rap (one of them Samian & Loco Locass' La Paix des Braves which was in the rotation a lot that day) even with all the pain it's effect helped me get through it - maybe I was laughing at the same time the pain was intense? The other thing is when I got back into the truck and was tired, I just left it on one channel and it had Gwen Stafani on five times within a hour - I can't get that 'sweet whatever' song out of my mind.
I have expanded my musical horizon, so I guess it was worth that alone. I still can't get a grip on some of the Rap and hip hop stuff, but I try to listen to one different channel a day.
Overall there are a couple of other things I would like to change, one is the elimination of the memory button, can't figure out what it is there for other than to agitate me. The other thing is I would like to be able to block specific artists like Madonna when they pop up. I just don't like her name appearing and should not have to look at it.
