  1. Remember to not just think about the price. Its the user experience. With a Mac you will not have to worry about Virus, Spyware and malware problems. Don't believe the BS out there its not happening on the Mac.

  2. Sara,

    What you do with the boombox is you take the Head Unit out of the car. And then put it in the boombox. It is sort of like and iPod Speaker Dock per se. You can go ahead and buy another receiver for it if you want but then you will have to pay for another subscription. The easiest thing at home is to use the online streaming which you are entitled to as a subscriber.

    The quality isnt great but it does work. I use a program on the Mac called StarPlayr. I'm sure there are Windows equivalents. You can always stream via the SiriusCanada website anyhow.

    BTW, I finally found some of the CD's, not many mind you maybe 10 or 15. I haven't counted. Ill take another peek for the stickers and then send me on the way to you guys. Happy New Year 08 will be grand for you guys.

  3. we got the Sirius Factory installed in the Grand Caravan last summer. Sucks that there is no text display pfft. Bought the Starmate 4 for my work car, and I move that unit to the van when the family goes out simply so I can get the reminders and see what I am listening to. Jenn was streaming online but the micro zapper would kill the WiFi stream to the stereo so I bought her the Conductor for the house.

    That my Sirius listening friends is the bees knees for home systems as far as I am concerned. Comes with a fantastic learning remote that shows the artist and song on the remotes display. Great for being a couch junkie. I do find however that I use it like the TV remote and surf constantly through the channels looking for something else to listen to. The best is you can use it anywhere, it doesn't need line of sight to the head unit which is tiny.

    Howard 100 is for the car on my own or at work. With 2 boys under 2 learning to talk there are a few words that I could do without them learning at this age. The History of Howard over the holidays was GREAT.

    Other than that its GD, Coffee House, First Wave, Jam-On, The Blues, Reggae Riddim has heavy heavy rotation and whatever else our hearts desire. Living in the near north I love my Sirius. We have 3 subscriptions.

  4. With the equalization of the US and CDN dollars, it seems like it's all falling nicely into place.

    The North American Union symbol is already starting to show up on drivers licenses in the US!!

    To bump a story from a few months back it looks like we in Ontario have just been issued new licenses approved by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. The same folks who brought you these hologrammed ones in the states.

    It will be interesting to see if ours has this new logo on the back as well. If it does I guess this conspiracy stuff will be further validated.

  7. Well we've got a good race going on up here in the Near North. It would be interesting to see Shane Jolley win the first Green Parliament Seat in Canada. The race is tight and I'm not sure if it will happen though.

  8. Has anyone seen their tickets yet?? For anyone that has used Musictoday before how long does it normally take for the tickies to arrive.

    One of mine is a gift for someone who still thinks he's not getting to see Neil because his wife was too slow on the phone lol. Id like to take the pressure off her if I can.
