Dwarfing the Net Red Flix

I decided to hook up an extra computer that had an S-Video connection to my TV today to see how useful I could make Netflix's relatively new Instant Watch service. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the video, its darn near broadcast quality. I was even more pleasantly surprised to find all 8 seasons of Red Dwarf available for the service. Forget the postal service, I'm watching my shows NOW!

Instead of using a keyboard and mouse with the low resolution TV, I'm using TightVNC on the computer with a VNC Viewer on a Palm TX that sits next to the couch. It's just like having a keyboard and mouse, but without all the mess.

Say what you want about Red Dwarf, it's kind of like "Mom's home cooking". You can go years without it, but it's always nice to have it when you really want it.

Saturday Night Update: I went out and purchased a wireless mouse to simplify the whole setup. Much more convenient, now if only I could get internet explorer to look better on the screen.
