Re: Hey all, here's an idea

That's true, but currently, and for the last month I've been 100% Windows free. Just I enjoy hearing news regarding MS. I know others don't care perhaps, but that's why it would only be a five minute or so section. Also I definitely don't want it to be a MS bashing section, of course sometimes they do utterly rediculous stuff, and it is funny, but I don't mean it needs to be a hating section. And lastly, I wouldn't mind doing this if anyone cares... Just throwing that out there.

This sums up my feelings exactly. I'm nearly Microsoft free at home, even if I can never be free at work. I want to be free of Microsoft, but I'm still interested in MS news. It can be entertaining. I don't know about others, but it makes me feel better about my choice to use Linux.

And Adam, I'd be glad to have you do this segment.

One idea I've been thinking about, especially since I have not managed to get either Skype or Ekiga working on my PC, is the concept of a modular show. For example, I record a segment, Adam records a segment, someone records another segment ... Then we take the segments, add the opening, closing and bumper music.

I really like the idea of a co-host, though, so I'm still working on communication. But we can definitely get started without that.
