Most commercially available digital video recorders (DVRs) allow you to record programs from a guide, pause live television, and free you from the shackles of prime time scheduling.  But really, shouldn't they be doing more?  How about cutting commercials?  Streaming media to other televisions?  Accessing your photos, videos, and music?  Expand your storage beyond a paltry 250GB?

In previous years election meetings have been a bit more communal.  The talks are a little bit more broad of a topic that appeals to everyone and the food is usually made by the members of WPLUG.  Sorta like a potluck, but at Noon instead of the evening.  If you'd like to help out, sign up below and tell us what you're going to bring.
 
 
* [[User:Pwagstro | Patrick Wagstrom]] - some sort of dessert.
