[QUOTE="tomtom21000, post: 42577, member: 10287"] Right guess, I am a guy. This thread is exactly one year old now. Never thought the thread would come up again. The reason for me starting it, was to learn something for the benefit for Mediaportal in the terms of usability. I perceived that my wife had a totally different approach to MP than I have. Although MP worked rather flawless in everyday usage (o.k. there where some nights I spent fighting with some problems or updates or changed tv databases, or...) For example, she wouldn´t use mp for ordinary tv-watching. Why? Because the htpc was too loud (solved now), the start process took too long (solved as good as it gets with win xp), she doesn´t like to use keyboard or mouse with tv (still my favourite input devices) and because it was much easier for a simple task like watching tv. Same with music. the old receiver and cd-player are ok with her and easier to use. She uses mp for showing photos and to record tv shows. You are right, in the end we all have the same goal, an easy to use, comfortable and stable, nice looking software for the whole family. You can exchange girls with "less technical family members". I am strictly against generalisation, let me point out that: # no doubt you and other woman are capable to build a htpc. and if you are so technically involved, it really makes no difference if you are a woman or a man. # I also have no doubt that my wife could build a htpc, it is just that her interest to do that is equal zero. # There is always a large bandwidth, but there seems to be a accumulation at a point which is known as "WAF" and I think this is not meant as disrespect as you indicated above. So, I thought it would be fun to see if diccussions about mp in otherones´s livingrooms would be similar to the ones we had and at the same time we could learn something on improving the usability. tomtom [/QUOTE]
