I remember also a time where I tried to record a program using that TV Wonder USB device, and my computer kept crashing. I was using the software that came with the device, but now I may try using VirtualDub to capture video now; I may also use it for my tape collection. I can save the music as an AVI file, then strip the audio to make WAVs, then MP3s.

My Gentoo installation process didn't work! :( The most frustrating part of it is that the installation usually choked on decompressing the tarballs or compiling the software. So I went about installing Slackware on the machine last night, which we'll see if that worked, since I had to go to bed before I completed the installation.

I found out today that there are some machines one of my fraternity brothers wanted me to look at. Maybe I can get some parts out of that thing.
