Oh Sony can be annoying, try customer service, where they keep telling you to call one of the other department's as it's not an issue with the other Sony device, and vice versa.

And they also lie a lot in their marketing, which always annoys me. But they make good electronics (mostly) even if they charge you an arm and a leg.

That's the kind of customer service and marketing I love. That's of course if you even get through to them.

...and waiting, waiting...you're wasting your time.

There should be some new Mac Mini models coming in soon, which one is supposed to have 1TB drive space. Chuck in a TV tuner and DAB radio and you'll have a real nice media centre.
