[QUOTE="d508dq, post: 42388, member: 18804"] [b]d508dq is a GIRL!!![/b] don't get it. How do you know who is a guy and who is a girl in this forum?? Surely, there are lots of girls who don't make it public that they are female, when they're online. For lots of reasons. This has the negative effect of making girls less visible in online communities. SO I see it is my duty to announce, *ahem* _d508dq is a GIRL!!_ Yes, it's true. I'm not only constructing a htpc system, I am also considering using open source software. *GASP* I imagine that the majority of us have family or a 'significant other' that we would like to share our htpc with - so usability and 'one-time setup' are important for all of us - not just the 'wife' of 'WAF" fame. (Do you think I might be getting a bit fed up with that phrase???) I enjoy a techy project, but want to know at the end of the day that I've constructed something usable (and stable), which doesn't require endless tinkering or cajoling (and which doesn't endanger the security of my precious media files!). This is not unique to girls. Yes, I know guys who are prepared to immerse themselves in a techy project to the exclusion of everything else, for weeks on end. But only a few. Most of us have other things to do with our time... For most of us (with the exception of the wonderful, dedicated team of developers) MP is a tool, rather than an end in itself. I find it crazy that there's this assumption that girls can't be bothered spending time getting to know a piece of software and learning how to use it, or who aren't interested in getting a htpc system up and running. I've had loads of advice from girls on other htpc forums. As to the question of whether THIS girl can really get MP installed and working... well, you'll just have to wait for the answer on that one! All the best! [/QUOTE]
