Hi and Welcome!

Just wanted to write a quick intro to get this started.  My name is Mike Brown and I've been using Media Center for going on 4 years now.  My first PVR was the first generation ReplayTV which I thought was the coolest thing until I saw a Media Center.  Being a huge music fan and having been working in the IT field for a number of years I naturally feel in love with XP Media Center and it quickly replaced my beloved ReplayTV unit.

I've not been a super active Media Center community member up until the past few months, being on the Vista beta and getting to see Media Center grow during the cycle inspired me to become more active in the community.  Lately I've been posting pretty frequently on The Green Button and in the public Microsoft Newsgroups trying to help some folks out.  I hope to use this blog along with my experience in Media Center and technology in general to help out the community and hopefully get some new people excited about Media Center.

I hope to have my first "real" post up in the next few days, but if there's anything anyone would like to see me cover feel free to leave me some comments and I'll do my best to cover it.

Also a big thanks to Ian for letting me start this blog here in the Media Center Show Community!
